activities. These include completing tables and figures, drag and drop, identifying true and false
statements, and answering questions.
You must do these self-marked activities because they will help you check your progress as you go along
and find out if you have understood the chapters. Each chapter has a practical session at the end of each
topic; you must come to the Centre to complete them. The actual dates will be given to you by your Tutor.
