Instructional units are pedagogically cohesive
units of knowledge. The order in which they are taught appear
in the panel to the left. In most cases each instrutional unit
represents two or more chapters of material from the book. The
length of an instructional unit can vary from less than a week
to as long as four weeks. The average length of a unit is generally
two to three weeks. Student mastery of the material is assessed
through a variety of means. Regular announced quizzes are given
during each unit. The primary assessment tool is exams; each unit
may include one or more exams depending on the amount of material
covered.
