In order to use the time during the lesson optimally, always do the exercises in the column Before the lesson - before each lesson. You will usually need to listen to a text or read it (or both) and to fill out a table afterwards. That way you will get used to the new words and the topic. All audio files can be accessed here.
The transcripts of the audio files can be found in the textbook from p. 317 on. Many other useful things can also be found at the end of the book.
The solutions of the homework exercises from the textbook can be found here.
There are chapter overviews (overzicht) at the end of each chapter (hoofdstuk). Check them out frequently as they are very useful. The key to the tables that you fill out as homework can be found there as well (the red tables in the overview correspond with the blue tables in the chapter).
In order to recap the lesson, do the assignments under After the lesson.
You will find the links to the written assignments in the course overview, under Written assignment. The assignments should be handed in in that week. Click on the link in the course overview and submit the assignment.
There are in total 4 online tests during this course. The tests on Monday only test the irregular verbs in the past tense (pages 312 to 315 in the book). Each of those tests will take 5-10 minutes to complete. The test at the last lesson is a written test as well, and tests what you learned throughout the course. The last test will take 30 minutes to complete.
