The Educator Side Implementation of PassAssured’s program is easy: the Educator facilitates the students’ progress throughout the course and the content is completely online. Note that there are no minimum or maximum class sizes.
16
The Educator Side Automatic grading of Quizzes, Tests, Study Aids, and Exams Educators decide how to facilitate – tightly controlled or loosely All quizzes, tests, and exams are automatically generated and graded. As part of the system update this summer, students are no longer able to take a quiz without watching a video, and section tests without taking all of the quizzes in that section.
17
The Educator Side Educator’s resources are complimentary and program includes Lesson Plans and Learn Files (printable): ALL educator materials are complimentary, including a student version for planning and self-certification purposes if you choose. The Learn Files are accessible in one large file from the ECP now for your convenience. We really encourage the students to read through the Learn Files. The videos only contain about 1/3 of the information that is in the Learn Files. All test questions are pulled from the Learn Files.

The Student Side Senior Level Course (12th Grade Only)
Prerequisites 10th Grade Reading and Writing Skills Algebra 1 Start working at school, finish at home Accessible via Internet Constant review of all content is necessary for success Study all material until certification exam is passed While we realize that neither PassAssured nor educators can control everything, we really encourage that students enrolling our course have a minimum of a 10th grade reading level and have passed Algebra 1. Our program is comprehensive, so reading level and a solid math foundation is key to passing the course and gaining a national certification. Because we are 100% internet based, students can begin working at school and finish at home, or wherever they have internet access. Constant review of all sections is necessary for success. For example, even if the student successfully passed Federal Law in February, they still need to review that material at the end of the course and before sitting for the certification exams.

No additional purchase necessary Critical to passing the course and the certification exam Again we’re going to talk about the Learn Files, which are included in the purchase of the program. The complete file will fill up a two inch, three ring binder when printed. This serves as the student textbook and are critical to passing the national certification exam. [Story about student who studied vs classmates who didn’t and he passed ExCPT.]

The Student Side Built-in Study Aids and Flashcards
The Study Aids and Flashcards are there to enhance the learning process, and allow students to hear the correct pronunciation of the drug’s brand and generic names, see what the drug looks like, it’s classification and side effects.
24
The Student Side Test questions are randomly generated
Pull from a database of over 1,500 question sets Demonstration Test questions are randomly generated from a database of over 1,500 questions total. The Exit Exam is pulled from a completely separate database of questions so that you may be able to really test if the student has learned the material, instead of memorizing questions they may have seen repeated throughout the course.
