9. Weekly Learning Cycle Step 3: Study Plan FAQ
What is the Study Plan?
The Study Plan is a personalized plan, based on your individual needs, generated from the results of your Pre-Test. The plan is a study guide for you to use in preparing to take the weekly Post-Test and course final exam.
Each week of this course, you are required to complete your weekly Pre-Test in MyStatLab®, along with a Study Plan assignment. You must complete your weekly Pre-Test before an individualized study plan is generated. Prior to completing the Pre-Test, the Study Plan will contain all available objectives for the week and will not yet be customized per student.
What are the benefits of the Study Plan?
As you prepare each week to take the weekly Post-Test, review the Study Plan to ensure that you have mastered any concepts you missed on the Pre-Test. This extra step will increase your chance of success on the weekly Post-Test and course final exam. The Study Plan is a second look at concepts you might need to spend some extra time on.
How do I submit my Study Plan for points?
See the syllabus for instructions on how to notify your facilitator of your study plan completion each week.
