I would just stick with the coursework as it progresses. Pointless trying to leap ahead of your fellow course students. As your teacher/instructor will be working to guidelines/course notes which ensure that you've fully grasped the RMS principals now, before going on to more complicated coursework. Peak to Peak studies, rectification, & the formulae involved will no doubt be soon revealed.
From a vintage radio hobby/pursuit point of view - don't even think of getting involved with valve testers & testing for a long while yet. Its a minefield of confusion RMS/P-P wise.

I think you missed the point, it is needed to know for the calculations on AC, if for instance an AC voltage figure is given as 20V are they expecting me to change it to the RMS value by dividing by .707 or not in order to answer the question.
