Students can follow multiple learning paths: • Novices can work through the course on a linear path building on previous learning as they progress • Students with previous knowledge in the topic can jump back and forth as necessary as they review areas of weakness The Student ExperienceQuantitative Analysis requires approximately 20-25 hours to complete for students with limited experience and is designed for use by individuals rather than teams. The Table of Contents layout of the navigation makes it easy to access desired topics when used as a reference tool. Students can print information on core concepts covered in the course for review.

  5. Assessments and Tracking • The course includes three assessments: • A pre-test helps the student identify areas of weakness and lets faculty and administrators gauge a class’s initial level of proficiency. • Two post-tests determine the amount of learning that has occurred during the course and help faculty and administrators ensure that students have reached a certain level. Faculty and administrators can also track and measure student performance, including a list of students and their overall status in the course. Detailed information about each student is also available, showing each page visited and exam results. 5
