The appendices contain a description of the development of the PBTE/CBSD materials; a master list of performance elements covered by the modules, including one called Combat Problems of Student Chemical Use; module titles and associated performance elements; time estimates for completion of the modules; and prerequisite competencies for the PBTE modules.
