In addition to Dynamic Study Modules, some courses may also provide initial Gap Finder diagnostic modules. These diagnostic modules assess student baseline knowledge and then recommend any applicable Dynamic Study Modules.

• If a module includes questions for content you're not covering in your course, make a note of them so you can later remove these questions.
• If you discover an issue with a module question, contact the publisher to report the problem.

Preview questions as you add modules into the course

1. Select any of the following from the Course Home:
   • Create your Assignments (Getting Started area)
   • 
      Create Assignment (Assignments area)
   • The assignments link from the Dynamic Study Modules entry in the Enrich Your Course area (page bottom).

2. Select Add a Dynamic Study Module.

3. For Chapter/Topic, choose from All, a Gap Finder diagnostic module, How Dynamic Study Modules Work, or a book chapter/topic, which can contain one or more modules.

2. Answer questions as much or as little as you like. There's only one correct answer to each multiple-choice question.
   • Results as you work: The goal is to master all questions in the module. Green bars appear in the top right for each mastered question. Select the
     
     down arrow for more details.
   • Results after you stop working: If you select return or you close then reopen a module, your progress appears in the course overview area (top right).

2. Select the Dynamic Study Module assignment title from the Assignments List View, and then choose Student View.
   

3. Answer questions as much or as little as you like. There's only one correct answer to each multiple-choice question.
