Read through the following list of things (performance objectives) that you should now be able to do. In the right margin, mark one third of them "no problem", one third "uh-oh" and one third "eeek!" depending on how confident you are that you can do them. The dates are approximate.
On this web site, a link with each lesson's set of objectives will take you to the Learning Objectives for that day (or it will as soon as I get to programming it - in the meantime it will take you to that page). These are a list of things you should know.
