You are an instructor for Introduction to Nutrition and are finalizing some images you want to use for your course. You have already uploaded the image files. You are reviewing your images and re-organizing them.

Student

You are a student in Introduction to Nutrition and are studying for your upcoming test on the nutritional value of fruit. You have located the exam study site for your class which features the images you will be tested on. You change the order of images in the gallery to make sure you haven't memorized information based on their logical order.
