Question
Is there anything else I should know about course cartridges?


Answer

Yes, course cartridges allow you to create your course just the way you want, whether you are teaching on a quarter system or semester system.

Select course cartridges include assets found on the Instructor Teaching Site and the Student Study Site, as well as a bonus quiz. Course cartridges with these resources are available for titles published after November 2014.
