ASSESSMENT OF YOUR ANSWER

Dear student, If you got scores between 5 correctly, excellent! It shows that you
understood and remembered what we have discussed. Congratulations!!!

If you got correct scores between 4, very good! You remembered most of the things we
have discussed check those questions you did not answer correctly and see why you forgot their
answer.

If you correct answers were from 3, that was good. What you have remembered were
probably the ones close to your heart. I suggest that you read the text again and try to answer the
questions once more.

Finally, If you have a score between 1 - 2 , suggest that you read the lessons again and
see where you have forgotten some details after reading the parts where you met some
difficulty, try to answer the test again and see if your score will improve.

Good luck!! Good bye now, dear student. I hope to see you when we do the next module.
