Prerequisites and Requirements are built-in tools that help structure the pacing of your Project STEM courses. Please note that these settings are course-wide, and cannot be adjusted for individual students or groups of students. If you would like to have different pacing options for individual students or groups of students, the best practice is to use availability dates as described in this article.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites (labeled "1" in the image above) indicate which module(s)/units must be completed before moving on to the next module/unit.

To learn how to adjust prerequisites, see this page.

  • Note: Prerequisites can only be set at the module level. You cannot make a single item (an exercise, a lesson, etc.) a prerequisite.

Requirements

Requirements (labeled "2" in the image above) identify the items (an exercise, a lesson, etc.) that the student must complete before the module in its entirety is considered complete.

To learn how to adjust requirements, see this page.
