In the final clip of this Question and Answer
week I want to answer some questions
I received on the exam. What to expect?
The exam consists of one hundred multiple
choice questions.
Each question has, just like the weekly practice
questions,
three possible answers, only one of which is
correct.
I have tried to make the questions comparable
to what you are used to,
so I don' expect any
surprises there.
The topics are of course everything that we
discussed in the weekly lectures
and just to avoid misunderstanding, that also
includes this week's contents.
The contents of the Little Box of Nuance,
however, are not part of the exam.
I will ask you to define concepts, name theories
and models, mention important scholars,
technological innovations, pick the correct
approach that fits one particular statement.
All of these things. Basically everything that we
practiced.
Well I recommend that you use the text files
we've made available of the lecture transcripts.
and the practice questions. I'm sure they will
come in handy.
You have one week to fill in the exam.
You will have to look on our website for the final
date to submit the exam.
Your certificate with your grade will be emailed
to you within three weeks.
Just something else. I can imagine it's very
tempting to use offline or online help,
while making the exam. But I strongly
recommend against this.
As you know, your certificate and grade is solely
for yourself.
It does not give you university credits
and it is not comparable to our regular
certificates.
It is a certificate of participation. An indicator of
your interest in our field,
and your personal commitment and dedication
to follow this course through.
Therefore, make it a real reflection of your
knowledge and understanding
I'm sure you will value it more that way.
In week eight I will a present a behind the scene
look on our MOOC
It's about why we made this course, how we
made it, who made it,
things we learned on the way, who you are, and
what you thought of the course,
according to the survey we sent out, and what
future improvements might be.
Also, we'll talk about the exam, how well you
did, and how many people finished the entire
course within our set timeframe.
I wish you good luck for next week.
