How to use the Module
Each unit contains four sections:
Getting Started: You learn what the module is about, why it is relevant, what you should know before you begin, and the objectives.
Learning, Practice Review: Here's where you learn about the content of the module, scholarly communication, citations, etc. This section may contain text, demonstrations, worksheets, questions for thought--to help you get involved and get thinking!
Assessment: Exercises, quizzes, or other activities to help you apply what you learn and identify any gaps. Some assessments will review general knowledge, and some the assessment for some modules may be combined. And in some cases you will have the opportunity to apply what you've learned to your own research topic and get personalized feedback.

Reflection & Resources: Here's an opportunity to reflect on what you've learned and think about how to apply it to your own research. If you want to delve deeper into some of the topics covered in the module, here's where you'll find additional resources, web sites, articles, and links to resources.
Each unit builds on the one preceding it, therefore it is recommended that you go through the units in order.
