Comment: Consider rearranging the Catalyst Materials section on the top of page 4 to read "1. oxygen reduction, 2. oxidizing", along with rearranging the subheadings on pages 4-6 to match. In modern converters, since the reduction happens first followed by oxidizing, it makes more sense to teach this way to help with retention. The current formatting in the module leads to confusion as it is taught in reverse order.
