Exercise Breakdown:

  1. Project-Focused Exercise – You will reflect on your own project, evaluating how the chapter’s topic applies to your work. Think of this as preparation for your data management plan.
  2. Quiz or Task – This will test your understanding of the material. If you answer incorrectly, you can retake it until you achieve a perfect score.

The course follows a logical sequence based on the sections of a data management plan. While it is recommended to go through each section in order, you are free to revisit previous sections or jump ahead if you’re eager to explore a particular topic. The key is to ensure you complete all sections and exercises.
