Overview
This course explains how voltage, current and resistance are affected by series and parallel circuit design, along with procedures for breadboarding. Learners experience how to determine voltage, current, resistance and power at various point in a circuit, and the use of Ohm's Law. 66 interactions actively involve the learner in the training. Lesson interactions provide the learner opportunities to apply what he or she has learned. The computer assesses the learner's level of understanding of all learning objectives. When the learner answers a question incorrectly the computer provides remedial instruction and reviews the material until the learner can answer correctly.
Mastery's exclusive Follow-up Review, standard in all Mastery Advantage courses, provides time-delayed reinforcement and review of the learner's newly acquired knowledge. The Follow-up Review enhances the transfer of newly acquired knowledge to the learner's long-term memory.
The Learner navigates through the course and its resources using the standard Mastery Control Bar. Course resources include a glossary of terms.
