Course outline
The curriculum of the Final Assessment Course will lead you through the processes required to complete your two final assessment tasks. There is no new content to learn. Rather, the focus is on helping you to apply the skills you have learned.
The structure of the course is as follows:
Week 1:
You will answer several multiple choice questions that cover content from all the six Digital Media Analytics courses. This is an untimed assessment. You get three attempts for each question, but the points available per question are reduced after each attempt.
Week 2:
You will interpret, analyse, and answer a set of problem-based questions surrounding scenarios.
What score do I need to pass the course?
