## GETTING STARTED

Welcome to the first week of the sample edX Course! We created this to give you “the basics” of how courses work at edX. Almost all edX courses have weeks, lessons, lectures, homework assignments, and exams. This demo course has three example weeks – most courses last 4 to 12 weeks.

You are in Week 1, Lesson 1. Lessons typically include things like videos, readings, interactive questions, laboratories and more. These are presented from left to right, in the row of links above. At edX we call this a lesson or a learning sequence.

Explore the lesson sequence by clicking on the icons above or the arrows below. We tried to make these fun, so make sure to check out each item.
