  5. Network Lab Case Study

  6. MyBU Multiple Choice • Two assignments Autumn & Spring • 200 students attended both • Much better than for lecture/lab sessions • Good attendance at labs Autumn Term • Less good Spring Term • Each Test 30 MPQs in 45 mins • Controlled environment – closed book

  7. Question Banks • Previous unit MPQ exam questions • Take a long time to write • Cisco on-line E-assessments • Are fairly difficult • Low level, very technical • Issue of IP • Ok for ideas for questions • Are really CPD Certifications • Lack academic underpinning
