Task 1 Completion Guide
The same scenario applies to all three tasks in this course. This guide is not meant to replace the instructions for the task but will guide you through the task prompts to provide additional guidance and resources applicable to each prompt. For an overview of Training Plan design and evaluation, see Section 2 of your course materials and Chapters 2 – 4 of the textbook. There are also live cohorts and recordings available for each of the tasks in the course resources.
