Have you ever learned a craft or an art where you had to learn the basics before you improved? If you learned how to ride a bike, for instance, you know that it was hard to learn and it was eventually easy to do after practicing.\r\n\r\nYou perfected\u2014or mastered\u2014your technique with practice. You got better over time.\r\n\r\nThis course uses digital materials called Waymaker. Waymaker courses are about mastery learning, an educational theory based on the idea that people learn at different rates and everyone needs sufficient time to learn and practice. Start early to give yourself plenty of time.\r\n\r\nHave you ever had the experience of not understanding something in week 2 of a course but forging ahead anyway, only to find that the work in week 3 was really hard?\r\n\r\nWith mastery learning, you are asked to demonstrate an understanding of foundational concepts before moving to the next topic. In other words, you may spend more time with some concepts before you move on to the next ones. By using Waymaker, you will have tools to help you learn, practice, focus your studies and master information so you can progress successfully through the course.\r\n\r\nThe content, assignments, and assessments are designed to make sure you \u201cget it\u201d before you move on.\r\n\r\nThe next pages will give you guidance on how to best use Waymaker.","rendered":"
