Assessment

The course is assessed on-line.

On-line Assessment

On-line assessment is in the form of an end of module tests (post-test). The test is multiple-choice and comprises a random selection of questions covering all objectives within the module. A question comprises a single correct answer and two wrong answers (distractors) and you only have one attempt to answer each question. To complete the course you have to pass the end of module test.

Successful completion of the module is dependent on:

• Achieving or exceeding the pass mark for the modules.

If you do not pass the end of module test, you will be required to retake it. This is likely to involve going though one or more topics again prior to retaking the test.

Pre-tests
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Each module of e-learning begins with a pre-test, which enables you to assess your existing knowledge and enables us to credit you with any relevant knowledge and experience that you bring with you. If you can demonstrate a suitable level of mastery of a topic, then that topic will be marked as complete. You will have access to the topic but you will not be required to study it.
The format of the pre-test is very similar to that of the post-test, with the exception of a fourth multiple-choice option, labelled 'Don't know'. Although we encourage you to attempt all questions by selecting the most likely option, based on your existing knowledge and experience, we do not recommend that you guess answers.
