Assignment and Quiz Standards
The purpose of the open book module assignment is to facilitate the learning process as well as assess the assistant’s knowledge and abilities in the optometric field. Each assignment consists of 25 multiple choice questions. Questions are based on the content covered in each module.
The purpose of the closed book quiz is to test a student’s knowledge and to prepare them for the final exam, which is timed. The quiz questions are based on both the study guide and the interactive module. Each quiz consists of 20 questions and timed at 25 minutes.
