For some textbooks integrated with ALEKS, there is an
initial chapter, preceding Chapter 1, that may be called a "Readiness Chapter."
(The exact name of the Readiness Chapter can vary across
books.) This chapter contains material that is not strictly part of the
class coverage, but is important as foundational material.
If you would like the Readiness/Review chapter to be a distinct unit in
the student's work, it should be assigned a completion date, like other
chapters. If no separate completion date is assigned to this chapter,
its core material will still be included, but as part of the first
chapter.
For classes not using textbook integration, these topics will be listed
in the Content Editor under the section "Core Readiness Topics,"
and you may remove as many of these topics as you wish. The other
(non-core) topics coming from the Readiness Chapter are also shown in
the Content Editor under the section "Other Topics," but these topics
will not be included in the class.
NOTE. If custom Objectives are used, ALEKS will automatically include
core material if at least 50% of the topics from the first
regular chapter (or from the second pie slice) are included in the
class coverage.
