    As with Modules 1 and 2, you should assess your understanding of Module 3 to prepare for the Module 3 test. Your instructor may give you specific assignments for your review in addition to this self-assessment.

    Assessing Your Understanding

    The table on the following page lists the Module 3 concepts and skills you should understand. After completing it, you will be able to prioritize your review time more effectively.

    Assess your understanding:

    • Go through the topics list and locate each concept or skill in the Module 3 student workbook or in the online activities.
    • If you recently used the skill and feel confident that you did it correctly, rate your understanding a 4 or 5.
    • If you remember the topic but could use more practice, rate your understanding a 3.
    • If you cannot remember that skill or concept, or still find it difficult, rate your understanding a 1 or 2.

    Now that you have done an initial rating of your understanding, it is time to begin reviewing. The goal is to have a confidence rating of 4 or 5 on all the topics in the table when you have finished your review of Module 3.

    Things to consider for reviewing:

    1. Start at the beginning of the module and review the material in the Preparations, Collaborations, and Exercises, and your notes on the skills and concepts you rated 3 or below.
    2. Select a few questions to do.
    3. Once you have finished, remember to check the solutions. If you are not sure if you have done the problems correctly, check with your instructor, other classmates, your previous work or work with a tutor in the learning center or online.
    4. Rate your confidence on this skill again. If you understand the concept better, rate yourself higher. Begin a list of topics that you want to review more thoroughly.

    For topics that you need to review more thoroughly, make a plan for getting additional assistance by studying with classmates, visiting your instructor during office or virtual office hours, working with a tutor in the learning center or online, or looking up additional information on the Internet.

    Rate how confident you are on a scale of 1–5 (1 = not confident and 5 = very confident).
