Assessment materials misaligned with learning activities

Practice assessments (PAs) are not aligned with the Objective Assessment (OA) format/content, so passing PAs doesn't prepare students for the OA.

  • [...] PA was more of a Quizlet type questions, while OA was scenario based. They try to trip you up on the OA, so make sure to carefully read the questions, as a single keyword there might influence what choice you choose.

  • ["Studying the PA turned out to be useless.", "This was the worst OA I have ever taken... I have no idea how I even did. I have no tips because this exam was all over the place."]

  • Took the PA and based it off that. ... Nothing like the PA IMO.

Scheduling or simulation facilitator availability issues

Required synchronous/scheduled sessions (multiple 45‑minute blocks) have limited instructor/time slot availability that doesn't accommodate working students/parents.

  • [Instructor wants me to schedule 4x45 min sessions but there are no available times. Then when I choose all instructors, the time slots don’t work for me because I work full time and I have 3 small children.]

workflow_or_policy_barriers

Remediation requirements after a failed OA are overly burdensome and inflexible (lengthy study guide plus mandatory office hours), creating delay and extra work.

  • Now I have to complete this lengthy study guide and attend one of their open office hours
