End of Module Material

 Review Assignments: Review Assignments provide students with additional practice of the skills they
learned in the module using the same module case, with which they are already familiar. These
assignments are designed as straight practice and do not include anything of an exploratory nature.
 Case Problems: A typical NP module has four Case Problems following the Review Assignments. Short
modules can have fewer Case Problems (or none at all); other modules may have five Case Problems.
The Case Problems provide further hands-on assessment of the skills and topics presented in the
module, but with new case scenarios. There are five types of Case Problems:
 Apply. In this type of Case Problem, students apply the skills that they have learned in the module to
solve a new problem.
 Create. In a Create Case Problem, students are either shown the end result (such as a finished Word
document) and asked to create the document based on the figure provided, or, students are asked to
create something from scratch in a more free-form manner.
 Challenge. A Challenge Case Problem involves one or more Explore steps. These steps challenge
students by having them go beyond what was covered in the module, either with guidance in the
step or by using online Help as directed.

 Research. A Research Case Problem requires students to find information on the Internet to help
solve a problem or to include in the file they are creating.
 Troubleshoot. In this type of Case Problem, certain steps of the exercise require students to identify
and correct errors that are intentionally placed in the files. Completing these steps helps to promote
problem solving and critical thinking.
