To gain the maximum benefit from this course, we encourage you to complete, not only the various activities that you encounter in the course, but also the assignments. The assignments can help you to see how well you have achieved the learning outcomes for the course. If you are in a group setting or working with an instructor, you can use the assignments for both peer and faculty assessment of learning.

As noted earlier, if you are seeking credit for this course, set up a study schedule that fits your lifestyle and circumstances, and work through the activities and assignments. The important thing is to do your coursework in such a way that you are able to show the work and demonstrate that it is your own and not copied from, or written by, someone else.

Once you are done, you can approach an OERu partner institution willing to review your work for credit. The institution may require additional work such as an exam, along with submission of your assignment work. It may also contact you to verify your identity and ensure that the work you submitted is your own.
