5. New features for Micro Modules coming soon.
We have instituted an online feedback mechanism to allow people to comment
on the micro modules. The response has been terrific and very helpful. People
told us that they would like the pre and post test to be optional. Therefore,
the
feature to allow you to skip pre and post test is in final test and coming
soon.
