 There will be a scenario-based quiz of at least one question after every lesson with four choices and a brief explanation of the answer. Every Quiz is a requirement to move to the next lesson. I included tasks at the end of each module to guide the course participants in practical application of the lessons. That means, more emphasis on application than simply knowledge of what to do. There is also an introduction quiz to set the tone and get buy-in from the start. Then at the end, there is a brief knowledge quiz.
