How to take our seminars _________________                                                                                  __________

Seminar Structure:

Our seminars are modular. Each seminar starts with three bullets to help you navigate though a seminar: "How to Take our Seminars", the "Seminar Overview" and the first "Seminar Technical Topics" of the seminar. "How to Take our Seminars" option is explained here, the "Seminar Overview" option includes - what you will learn from the seminar. The "Seminar Technical Topics" of the seminar option includes the seminar modules. We recommend you start with the "How to Take our Seminars" option and then go to the "Seminar Overview" option before choosing the first "Seminar Technical Topics" of the seminar option.

The first slide of the technical topics includes all the seminar modules. We recommend you take the modules in ascending order, without skipping the module slides and take the module quiz without going back and forward on the module slides. If unsure of the quiz answers, review the complete module and then repeat the seminar quiz. Review your answers with our answers. We strongly recommend if you do not have all the answers correct than you go over the module contents at least once more. The same principle applies to the final quiz on the seminar.

Module Structure - Each module includes objective, outline, content slides, module quiz, answers to quiz and glossary associated with the module. All module slides are linked serially and designed for you to take the slides in sequence until you reach the module quiz.
