Assessment

With nearly 3300 assessment questions, instructors can give their students the practice they need with assignable quiz and test questions written for the textbook, preloaded and ready to use in the Test Manager, accessible from the Control Panel. Instructors also have more options to assess their students using the Higher Order of Learning, as the test bank questions have been categorized using Bloom's Taxonomy. Instructors can modify these questions and create their own questions.

Anonymous Self-Assessment Surveys

Anonymous Self-Assessments provide a mutually beneficial environment for instructor and student to truthfully evaluate their own behavior in a confidential and anonymous environment, which then enables instructors to tailor their lectures based on real information.

• Immediate Feedback for Students: Once instructors make the anonymous self-assessment surveys available in the Assignment area, students can easily complete a survey. Upon completion, students are immediately provided with their score, what it means, and suggestions for ways to change their behavior and improve their health habits. This feedback is available for both the entire survey, and for individual questions.
• Monitor Student Participation: When a student completes a survey, a check mark immediately populates into the instructor gradebook. By clicking the survey title, the instructor can also access class statistical results.
• Survey Anonymously: The anonymous survey format provides a non-threatening environment in which students can answer questions about their own behavior, and instructors thereby get a more accurate statistical representation of their class
