Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What should you do before setting a launch date?

 

A current calendar takes a minute to check and avoids putting anyone in a difficult position. You don't need to guess who observes.

Lesson 1, Why it matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Which statement is the safest assumption about a colleague and an observance?

 

Observance is personal. Religion and nationality are different things, and many people observe nothing.

Lesson 3, Know the observances, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

Which is the best first step when picking a date for a big team event?

 

A quick check beforehand avoids a clash and shows care.

Lesson 4, Plan around observances, teaches this. See the outline
