Some courses use "activity completion" which shows you clearly what resources you must review and what activities you must do to "complete" a module/topic in a course. If your course is using Activity Completion, you'll also see a percentage complete on the course card on your My Courses page. 

 For an example of Activity Completion in action, you can look at the Moodle Orientation for Students course. (You may need to click the button to self-enroll.)

Step 1	Navigate to the course with Activity Completion. You will know Activity Completion is turned on if you see a small circle next to a resource or activity in the course index, as seen in the image to the right. If the circle is empty, the activity hasn't been completed. Once it's complete, the circle will turn solid.
Step 2	Look for any resources or activities that have the circle by them in the course index. This indicates that the activity must be completed.
Step 3	When you open an activity with activity completion enabled, you will see actions labelled "To do" with information about what you must for the item to be marked complete, and they will be checked off as "Done" once the criteria have been met.
