Lesson List
Recommended Path
Follow the order of the lessons as shown for the most effective learning. Since the lessons and exercises build upon one another, your model will be incomplete if you skip lessons, and you will be unable to do the activities in some later lessons.
Time estimates for each lesson are just that, estimates. The time it takes for any given lesson will vary depending on the initial accuracy of your model building process, corrections and rework, and/or exploring extra resources.
