This self-instructional module describes and illustrates parameters that may be

Progression
through Module
Listeners have flexibility in sequencing the learning activities. This flexibility accommodates differences related to individual knowledge and skill, learning styles or preferences, time constraints, interests, etc.
It is recommended that novice or inexperienced listeners progress sequentially through the module. This entails training followed by practice for each characteristic. Evaluation can occur subsequent to training and practice for each characteristic, or it can occur at the end when all training and practice is complete.
