This unit presents a pedagogically sound approach to teaching this material. There are different forms of presentation for each topic, which will help each student learn according to their learning style. There is also a variety of activities for students to complete. Some of the activities are fairly simple, but others require more critical thinking skills. I have also tried to incorporate some of the key principles outlined by Rani Gill. I have segmented the information, and given students access to the presentations used to teach the concepts so they can control the pace of learning. I have attempted to keep the lessons fairly simple and focused on the objectives without adding a lot of unnecessary information. I have introduced more critical and creative thinking skills in the assignments, especially the final assignment, where students have to expand on the information they have learned, and apply it to real life situations.
