Students should complete the whole course, in order, not skipping any lessons. They will complete an essay that explains which season is their favorite, and why. After their first essay, the student should be able to return to any lesson below to review material for a subsequent paper. However, if they try to use one of the lessons out of context, on their first pass, they are likely to be confused by how the lesson fits into a whole paper.
