Practical Exercise Statement
Each module presentation contains one or more interactive audience response questions
designed to drive discussion, promote participant engagement, and test knowledge. Through
the use of the Meridia® Audience Response system, participant responses can be collected,
tabulated, and displayed within the presentation in real time. In order to use the interactive
slides accompanying this presentation, the lecture hall must be equipped with the Meridia®
Audience Response system and user keypads. In addition, a copy of the “Meridia® Q&A”
software component for MS PowerPoint must be installed on the presenter’s computer.
Assessment Strategy
Participant progress toward course learning objectives is monitored through informal discussion
and responses to each module’s practical exercise questions. Overall mastery of module
content and concepts is documented by means of a comprehensive, end-of-day posttest
