Self-Development Activity Resource for:

Practice Questions

NOTE: you can do this activity for as many self-development

activity submissions as you would like
This assignment encourages students to utilize the practice questions provided by faculty or
any external resources

Questions help learners to identify knowledge gaps in their learning and determine what
steps are needed to close those gaps.

All submissions must include evidence of completing a minimum of 10 practice questions.

1. Read the Question in its totality

2. Identify the concept being asked by this question by asking yourself: "This question is
asking me ...."
3. Assess how confident you would be in the question's material on a scale of 1 (not
confident and would probably get it wrong to 3 (very confident, I got this!).
4. Try to answer the question without checking the choices
5. Check the answers and then document why each incorrect answer is incorrect and
why the correct answer is correct.

This ensures practice questions are an active process and are helpful in learner
development
