One final word – the biggest challenge for some students appears to be self-discipline. Some students have difficulty handling the flexibility of the lesson scheduling. You need to set aside time to do the les-sons on a regular basis so that you will not get behind, even with the 10-day grace period at the end of the course. Decide each week when you will complete the lessons and take the quizzes, then do your best to stick with your plan!
