Caution:
You can ‘Quit’ at any time: in the middle of a lesson activity or at the end of
an exercise. However, here are two important things to remember:
1. If you have not finished the entire Section and you select ‘Quit’, your
work WILL NOT be saved and you will have to repeat your work.
2. To save your work, you should complete the entire Section, select
‘Continue’, enabling the new activity to appear on your screen, and
then select ‘Quit’.
The next time you begin your coursework (either from the Center or
remotely), you can move on to the next Lesson.
Note:
If you change study locations (from Home to Center), be sure to
begin a new Section if you do not wish to repeat any of the Section
you have just completed. When switching locations, the system
only saves your work at a Section level.
