EP07Pre-testsThe pre-tests included at the beginning of each unit allow you to test your general knowledge aboutcoordination of refugee and displaced population emergency responses. These two tests consist of20 True/False questions each. Taking these tests before beginning each unit should stimulate you tocompare your own thoughts about coordination to those presented in the text. Also, the pretestallows you to quickly determine how much you already know about the ideas presented here, andcan help you see which parts of the course you can move through more quickly or those you maywant to spend more time on. If you score very well on all of the pretests, it is likely that you do notneed to take this course for the purpose of learning new information, although it may be a usefulreview.Instant Feedback: Self-assessment questions, exercises and worksheetsA drawback to self-study is that instant feedback from the instructor or your colleagues is notpossible. To address the need for feedback, each chapter has five true-false questions and fivemultiple-choice questions. Exercises are found throughout the chapters to help you get the mostfrom the materials. Each chapter concludes with a summary of key points as a review.Final ExaminationAs a final complement to the self-assessment tests and problems which are included in the coursetext, there is a final examination administered by the University of Wisconsin–Disaster ManagementCenter (UW–DMC). When you have completed all the self-assessment tests and activities to yoursatisfaction, you may request a final examination package.Using the REQUEST FOR FINAL EXAMINATION form which accompanies these course materials, youwill nominate a proctor to give you the examination and make arrangements for scheduling the timeand place. Anyone in a position of educational or academic authority (for example, a registrar, dean,counselor, school principal or education officer) may serve as your proctor. Librarians and clergy arealso acceptable proctors. For these UNHCR/UW–DMC courses, your immediate supervisor orsomeone else of authority in a disaster/emergency management organisation may also be yourexamination proctor.The UW-DMC will mail the examination papers with instructions to your proctor who will monitoryour taking the test. After your proctor returns your examination to the University of Wisconsin–Extension, it will normally take 1-2 months for grading.
