,Joe has just started one of the units in this course. He wants to get through it as
quickly as possible while still making sure he is prepared to do well on the
"Checkpoint" quiz in two weeks. He sees a bunch of text with some activities
sprinkled throughout, and he is trying to decide how to proceed.
Indicate whether each of the following would likely be an effective and efficient
strategy for Joe, knowing that it is ultimately up to Joe to decide what works best
for him:
Jump straight to the activities without reading the text. For each activity, select
different answer choices to see if they are right or wrong, and read the feedback
that appears.
Yes
No
No
Correct! Learning by doing can be a good idea. However, Joe should keep in mind that
the feedback for correct and incorrect answers is not as complete as the preceding text,
so he might be missing important information.
Jump straight to the first activity and, if he cannot answer it, go back to the
beginning of the unit to read the text.
Yes
No
yes
Correct! If Joe has some previous experience with subject matter, this may be the most
efficient and effective strategy for him. The good thing about this strategy is that Joe
uses the activities as a way to assess his own capabilities and then adjusts his
approach accordingly. Moreover, by deciding to go back to read the preceding text, Joe
is giving himself a chance to practice independent learning.
Read the unit straight through from the beginning and do the activities as they
come up.
Yes
No
yes
Correct! If this is Joe's first experience with this subject matter, this may be the most
efficient and effective strategy for him.
,Read the unit straight through from the beginning, but skip the activities.
Yes
No
No
Correct! Although reading the text will provide Joe with the information from the content
of the unit, by skipping the activities, he misses the chance to practice and check his
understanding.
Penelope has worked her way through the entire course by skipping the text and
jumping straight to the activities, which she enjoys. When she does not get an
answer right on one of the activities, she tries the other answers until she
discovers the correct one. Unfortunately, she does not pass the final exam and
has to retake it. "Oh well," she sighs. "Back to the drawing board." Once again,
she opens the first unit, skips the text, and goes straight to the activities.
Penelope has failed to _____________.
properly assess the task
accurately evaluate her own strengths and weaknesses
plan an effective strategy for working through the course
successfully monitor her own performance
adjust her approach
adjust her approach
Correct! This is the best answer. Penelope is employing the same unsuccessful
approach to prepare for the final exam the second time without learning from her
mistakes the first time.
Margot does not give much thought to how she approaches her course; she just
goes to a unit, tries a few activities, then does the Checkpoint quiz. Sometimes
she does well, sometimes she does not. She is really not sure how she will do on
the final exam. Margot has not _______________.
assessed the task
evaluated her own strengths and weaknesses
planned a strategy for working through the course
monitored her own performance
adjusted her approach
planned a strategy for working through the course
Correct! Margot does not really have a strategy; she is just trying things without giving
her approach much thought.
, Pablo has a busy semester. He does not want to give too much time to the
course, so he puts off working through the course, figuring that he will spend a
couple of weeks at the end of the semester doing it all at once. In the end, he fails
the final exam. His principal mistake was that he did not ________________.
properly assess the task
accurately evaluate his own strengths and weaknesses
plan an effective strategy for working through the course
successfully monitor his own performance
adjust his approach
properly assess the task
Correct! Pablo underestimated the task and left himself too little time to prepare for the
final exam. This underestimation is reflected in his strategy because he did not properly
assess the task. He did not plan appropriately.
One of the most prominent features in our courses is the Learn By Doing activity.

knowledge of the presented concept.
Only the question and correct answer matter in a Learn By Doing.
They can be skipped if you think you already know the answer.
They may introduce new aspects of a concept that you are currently learning.
They may introduce new aspects of a concept that you are currently learning.
Correct. Often Learn By Doing questions not only test your knowledge of a concept; at
the same time they expand that knowledge and/or provide specific examples to practice
the concept in context.
Which of the following components are usually found in both a Learn By Doing
question type and a Did I Get This question type?
