A major aspect of this course is to intake, comprehend, and discuss the assigned
37+
topics. Take the time to fully absorb each topic and contribute to the
38+
discussion thread by sharing your thoughts. Interaction with peers is also
39+
expected; the goal is to compare and contrast ideas to build a solid
40+
foundation of knowledge.
41+
42+
Fill out this worksheet as you watch the unit video.
43+
Discussion posts can be completed afterwards, answers to be posted in Discord.
44+
You must both answer the discussion questions and respond to another student's
45+
answers. This is only required if you want the certification.
