Start, Continue, Complete, and Review Your Assignments
The following information applies to all assignments in Dosage Calc 360.
When working on a DC360 assignment for the first time, you'll be shown instructions pages for the exercises at-hand. Consult an exercise's instructions screen for information on whether you'll be allowed multiple attempts at the exercises and/or how the exercise will be graded.
When you've completed an assignment and/or exercise, you'll get feedback on your performance via a Results page. Click the "Review" button on a Results for further remediation shaped by your results.
For each question on a Review page, you can click "Show" to see feedback that can include contain answers, rationales, and sometimes test-taking tips.
You'll be able to review your feedback for previously-completed assignments and exercises by launching those assignments again, or by clicking the assignment's "Review" buttons on your Assignments page or on the "My Performance" panel of your Metrics page. For more information on checking your DC360 assignment performance and your Metrics page, please consult our "Grading and Metrics" article.
Assignment Exercise Types
There are two exercise types you'll find in Dosage Calc 360 assignment modules, both of which are designed to give you further insight on topics related to dosage calculation. If you know which assignment type you want more information on, you can jump to its place in this article by clicking its name below:
In addition to assignment module exercises, your instructor may require you to complete custom-made Quizzing assignments:
If you'd like additional, optional quizzing practice, please consult our "Practice Quizzes" article.
Subtopic Practice Exercises
Each DC360 assignment module is composed of multiple subtopic exercises and one culminating Post Assessment. Click the "Start" button for a subtopic to access its content.
For each assignment module subtopic, you'll find a Learn tab and Practice exercise.
A subtopic's Learn tab introduces you to information about the subtopic, via text, images, and video. Read through the full contents of a Learn tab before preceding to its corresponding Practice exercise.
A subtopic's Practice exercise will consist of around 10 questions related to the subtopic at-hand, and will be graded based on completion.
You'll have two attempts at every question on a Practice exercise, before you're shown the correct answer (in green) and a rationale.
When you finish a DC360 assignment module's Practice exercise, you'll see how well you did on a "Topic Practice Results" page.
You can re-take Practice exercises as many times as you'd like. Or, click "Review" to get another look at the correct answers and rationales for the exercise you just completed.
Click "Next Assignment," in the bottom-right of your "Topic Practice Results" page, to proceed to the assignment module's next subtopic.
Post Assessments
An assignment module's Post Assessment will be available to work on after you've completed all Practice exercises in the module's preceding subtopics.
Post Assessments are ~15-question quizzes that evaluate your understanding of the assignment module's content. Depending on your course's assignment settings, Post Assessments will be graded based on completion or competency, and you may be able to re-take Post Assessments to improve your score.
You won't be shown correct answers and/or rationales as you work through a Post Assessment's questions.
On your "Post Assessment Results" page, click "Review" to see which questions you got correct via a "Post Assessment Review" page.
If your Post Assessments are set to be graded on your first attempt, you'll see correct answers and rationales for all questions on your "Post Assessment Review" page.
If your Post Assessments allow multiple attempts, you'll only be shown rationales for questions you got correct. Questions you got incorrect will only be designated as such, so you'll know to give them extra attention when you re-take the Post Assessment.
Quizzing Assignments
In addition to Dosage Calc 360 assignment modules, your instructor may create DC360 Quizzing assignments for you to complete. If applicable, these Quizzing assignments will be found amongst the assignment modules on your Assignments page.
DC360 Quizzing assignments may test your knowledge on one or multiple topic areas, via multiple choice, select-all-that-apply, fill-in-the-blank questions, and more.
Like Post Assessments, Quizzing assignments won't provide you answers and rationales as you work through their questions. Additionally, Quizzing assignments may be graded based on completion or competency, and you may be able to re-take Quizzing assignments to improve your score.
On a "Quizzing Assignment Results" page, click "Review" to see feedback for your answer choices, possibly to prepare for re-taking the Quizzing Assignment.
