Assessment and Grading:

The units begin with a pre-test that will test your knowledge and allow you to gauge your baseline understanding of the topics to be covered. Your pre-test score will not count toward your overall grade. At the end of the unit, there is a post-test that will determine your final grade. A comparison of your pre-test score and post-test score will help to assess how much knowledge you’ve gained. You will have three attempts to complete the post-test. Your score must be 75% or better in order to receive the AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Please complete the evaluation survey at the conclusion of each unit within the learning module.
