WGU D494 FINAL TEST 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Selected Response Tests.
Answer: we can obtain a comprehensive coverage of a content domain, and
can administer, score, and interpret it easily, but we sacrifice realism and
some types of complexity (students are selecting the response: multiple
choice, matching, and true/false items)
◍ Business Performance Management (BPM).
Answer: Uses business intelligence analytics and process change to enable
organizational performance; includes goal selection, attainment
measurement, and achievement intervention.
◍ Transaction processing system.
Answer: information system used for processing patient admissions,
employee time cards, and purchase orders
◍ ARPANET.
Answer: an early packet switching network and the first network to
implement the protocol suite TCP/IP. Both technologies became the
technical foundation of the Internet.
◍ Norm-Referenced Interpretation.
Answer: Principal Use-Survey testing.Major Emphasis-Measures individual
differences in achievement.Interpretation of Results-Compares performance
to that of other individuals.Content Coverage-Typically covers a broad area
of achievement.Nature of Test Plan-Table of specifications is commonly
used.Item Selection Procedures-Items are selected that provide maximum
discrimination among individuals (to obtain a reliable ranking). Easy items
are typically eliminated from the test.Performance Standards-Level of
performance is determined by relative position in some known group (e.g.,
, ranks fifth in a group of 20).according to relative position in some known
group a test or other type of assessment designed to provide a measure of
performance that is interpretable in terms of an individual's relative standing
in some known group.
◍ Modular Design.
Answer: a design approach that subdivides a system into smaller parts called
modules or skids, that can be independently created and then used in
different systems.
◍ Formal Assessments.
Answer: (administered formally in the classroom) large-scale assessments at
the school, district, state, national, and international levels; standardized
tests
◍ router.
Answer: used to connect multiple networks together and forward data
packets between those separate networks to the destination host.
◍ Sniffing.
Answer: eavesdropping on network traffic in order to acquire traffic data
packets and decoding. The information gathered can be used to hack into a
network; the most common attack, as signals travel through the air
◍ Tuple/Record.
Answer: A record of data set in a row.
◍ Evaluating Performance.
Answer: Rubrics: an objective set of guidelines that defines the criteria used
to score or grade an assignment. Portfolios: collection of artifacts, or
individual work samples, that represent a student's performance over a
period of time.Self-assessment: process of students using specific criteria to
evaluate and reflect on their own work.
◍ Information Systems Managers.
Answer: They make decisions.
,◍ Software.
Answer: Provides instructions to computers to perform tasks.
◍ Rapid application development (RAD).
Answer: software development focuses on the development's process, with
limited emphasis on the planning process and uses prototypes.
◍ Pharming.
Answer: Used to steal personal information by redirecting users to
official-looking websites.
◍ Accommodations.
Answer: Do not change the expectations for learningDo not reduce the
requirements of the task
◍ Types of relationships in a relational database model.
Answer: One-to-One, One-to-Many, and Many-to-Many
◍ Project Manager.
Answer: They deliver quality systems on time, manage the budget, and plan
for the unexpected (they do not train new users).
◍ Classical Management Model.
Answer: A management practice that focuses on productivity; focuses on
more systematic and predictable issues.
◍ information technology management.
Answer: the management of hardware, software, data, networks, and people
that facilitate access to information and allow the organization to achieve
business objectives.
◍ Guidelines for Effective Student Assessment.
Answer: 1. Effective assessment requires a clear conception of all intended
learning outcomes. 2. Effective assessment requires that a variety of
assessment procedures be used. 3. Effective assessment requires that the
instructional relevance of the procedures be considered. 4. Effective
assessment requires an adequate sample of student performance.5. Effective
, assessment requires that the procedures be fair to everyone6. Effective
assessment requires the specifications of criteria for judging successful
performance.7. Effective assessment requires feedback to students that
emphasizes strengths of performance and weaknesses to be corrected.8.
Effective assessment must be supported by a comprehensive grading and
reporting system
◍ Information technology.
Answer: The use of computer and telecommunications systems for storing,
retrieving, and sending information; comprised of hardware, software, data,
and networks.
◍ Output.
Answer: Components include internal storage devices or processes, as well
as external peripherals such as monitor screens (visual output), speakers
(audio output), and printers (physical output).
◍ Platform as a Service (PaaS).
Answer: service provider provides server space, the server, virtualization,
operating system, database, and development environment in a platform that
can be used for application development. An example would be Amazon
Web Services.
◍ Elementary and Secondary Education Act 1994 (ESEA). Reauthorized.
Answer: Challenging standards were set for student achievement and to
develop and administered to "all" students and required that all schools
make "Adequate Yearly Practice". It also included "special needs students"
in the definition of all students. States were required to set challenging
standards for student achievement, and develop and administer assessments
to measure student progress towards those standards. Federal laws such as
ESEA and IDEA can be seen as legislated attempts to 'raise the bar.'
◍ Passive Tags.
Answer: A passive tag is an RFID tag that does not contain a battery; the
power is supplied by the reader.
