What is the best way to find or search for topics in the handouts (PDFs)?
To find topics more easily, we recommend to download all the handouts to a specific folder, and then in Adobe Reader, you can go to Edit->Advanced Search, click on "All PDF Documents In" and browse to your folder. From there, you can put in any term and it will tell you where it's mentioned across all of the handouts. It will also allow you to click on each document to open them directly from the search results.
Also, the handouts have been named to include the module name they come under and when you sort the folder you've created by name, they should be in the order in which they come in the program.
And don't forget the Program Outline handout under the Getting Started module, as this will give you an overview of all the content.
