The big idea This opening is a baseline, not a study test. The pretest asks what you know before instruction, and the survey records your starting ideas for later reflection.

A pretest is a starting line

This item can feel frustrating because it appears before the teaching. Its job is to measure what you already know, not to reward outside research.

What this module studies

Module 01 introduces the relationship between body structure and function. It moves from anatomy and physiology vocabulary to anatomical position, body planes and cavities, tissues and homeostasis, and the integumentary system.

Pretest boundary

The pretest is worth zero points and is meant to show your starting point. The course says not to use notes or research materials. If you do not know an answer, make your best choice and move on.

Survey boundary

The survey is graded for participation and completion. Answer every statement using what you currently know and feel. Save the survey because the course asks you to revisit it later.
