sequential order

Sequential order is the required sequence in which courses, lessons, or other learning activities must be taken or completed, with each one following the one before it.

In plain English

This means the learning items are arranged in a fixed progression, so one comes after another rather than in any order. The next item belongs after the previous one is taken or finished.

In context

Here, it communicates that the course items must be followed in the required sequence, with each item coming after the one before it.

Situation

Meaning limits
