Outcomes served. O4 and O6 (plan spaced study over weeks and build a system you can keep).

Assumed. Modules 1 to 6: memory, retrieval, spacing, understanding, sleep and claims. Division and percentages of small whole numbers.

Where this topic appears in practice. Knowing the best techniques does not help if the sessions never happen. Planning, starting and reviewing are the habits that carry the rest of the course into real weeks. See the entries on the spacing effect and mastery learning.
