Points to keep in mind when reading this course material:

• This course is written as if the course instructor is speaking directly to you, no matter what the subject.
• Whenever the pronoun's antecedent could refer to either gender, we will be using the third-person plural pronoun they instead of he or she.  The same can be said for using them instead of him or her.  Here’s an example: "If the employee wants a copy of their performance appraisal, they should go to the Human Resources department.  It’s up to them to get the information from HR."
• There will be a few instances when the same point is made a few times throughout the course as it pertains to the particular subject being taught in that lesson.
