Now you canmeasure how well your students apply what they've learned! Because EvolveCase Studies provides critical thinking test items written at the application level,
you ensure that your students are exposed to questions that simulate the

Tutorial 4: Case Studies and Practice Tests: 5.2 How the Case Studies Work
Lesson 4: Case StudiesTM Instructor QuickStart Guide5.2 How the Case Studies Work
Students are presented with a scenario that introduces the client and then sees aseries of small sets of questions. Students must get a correct answer on eachquestion on a screen before they can move to the next set of questions. This
allows students to review the rationale statements for their answers. Only thestudents first attempt on each question is recorded in the grade book. At the endof the case study, the student will see a summary screen with all of the rationalesfor each question.
If a student leaves a case study before completing it, they can come back andfinish at a later time. No score is recorded in the grade book until the case studyis finished. When a student returns to your Evolve course, they can resume thecase study by clicking the Resume button. The student will see the page ofquestions where they left off before closing the case study.
Student scores are saved in the case study course grade book. For moreinformation about the Evolve grade book, see the Evolve System Manual [link to:http://evolve.elsevier.com/OnlineHelp/System_Manual/Index.htm#Index_1.htm]located in the Course Tools area of your course.
Important Note: Please read this before assigning your first case study!
While taking an Evolve Case Study, all questions on a screen must be answeredcorrectly before the student will be able to proceed to the next screen, and only
their first attempt at each question counts toward their case study grade. Thismay cause your students some confusion, so please review the following steps

and make sure your students understand them before they take their first casestudy.
The student selects an answer foreach question on the screen and then
clicks the Next button at the bottom of the screen to see how they did.
If the student does not select an answer to all questions, they will see a
warning:
[Developer: This does not need a popup.]
When they click the OK button, they will need to select an answer for eachquestion and then click the Next button. They will not be able to move onto the next set of questions until they answer all questions on this screen.
Once a screen has been submitted, the score for that page is recorded
and feedback is shown to the student.
For each question answered correctly, the student will see the rationales
for all answer options, both correct and incorrect. For each questionanswered incorrectly, the student will see only the rationale for theincorrect answer they selected.
Before clicking the Next button, the student should then select a new
answer for all the questions that they missed on that screen. They canthen click the Next button to submit their new responses. Since this is notthe first attempt on this screen, their answers on this attempt do not counttoward their grade. This way, you are assured that the grade you see inthe grade book reflects only the students first attempt at each question.
This cycle continues until the student has answered all questions on the
screen correctly. Clicking the Next button will now take the student to the

Tutorial 4: Case Studies and Practice Tests: 5.3 Before You Begin
Lesson 4: Case StudiesTM Instructor QuickStart Guide5.3 Before You Begin
In advance of using the Evolve Case Studies with students, its a good idea tothink about how you plan to use them in your class or curriculum. Here are a fewquestions to consider.
1. Will cases be used for one semester or multiple semesters throughout thecurriculum?
2. Will multiple instructors need access to the case studies?
3. Do you want to use the cases as an independent learning option forstudents or would you rather assign all or part of them for a grade?
4. Do you intend to have each student do only the cases they need for a part
of a remediation plan, or do you plan to assign the cases to an entiregroup or class of students?
5. If you plan to count them for a grade, do you plan to assign the cases ashomework, quizzes, exams (or a combination of the three)?
6. Do you plan to assign students entire sections of the case studies (ex:Fundamentals), or individual cases as they fall into your curriculum?

Tutorial 4: Case Studies and Practice Tests: 5.4 How the Case Studies are Used
Lesson 4: Case StudiesTM Instructor QuickStart Guide5.4 How the Case Studies Are Used
How can you use Evolve Case Studies?
As a component of each applicable course - You can assign the cases
as homework, exams, or quizzes. You can also choose to use the scoresfrom the cases as a component of the course grade.
As a tool to enhance Critical Thinking throughout the program - Youcan assign individual case studies throughout the program as a way toenhance your students critical thinking and clinical judgment.
As a supplement to Clinicals - The Evolve Case Studies are a great toolfor use as a pre or post-clinical. They can even been used to help withmissed clinicals.
As part of the student review and remediation program - When thestudents areas of demonstrated NCLEX weakness have been identified,you can use the cases as part of a remediation plan to help them reviewand apply concepts learned throughout the program.
Depending on the above, you have two ways to manage the groups of studentsthat would be using the Case Studies.
Team Solution: You may wish to have only one Case Study coursesetup with all of your students and instructors enrolled. Each user

would have a unique account. All students and instructors wouldremain in the same course and new students would self-enroll eachsemester. Teams can be easily created for each group of students. Ateam will allow an instructor to assign a group of cases and/or a singlecase study to a team(s) of students. It will also allow the instructor toview only their team of students in the online Gradebook. Informationabout setting up teams is listed below in this document. For
information on how to enroll multiple instructors in a course, pleasesee the provided document on Enrolling co-instructors.
Cohort Solution: More than one Case Study course can be requestedfor each cohort of students. Each user would have a unique account.The students would remain in a course with only their cohortsthroughout their program. Each instructor would manage theirindividual course during the semester. Once a semester ends, eachinstructor would need to gain access to the course in which their nextsemester students are enrolled into. For information on how to enroll
into an existing cohort course, please see the provided document onEnrolling co-instructors.

Tutorial 4: Case Studies and Practice Tests: 5.5 Using the Case Studies
Lesson 4: Case StudiesTM Instructor QuickStart Guide5.5 Using the Case Studies
1. Log into your Evolve course and click the Course Documents tab.
2. Find the case study you wish to modify and click on the title to open it.
3. Click the Settings hyperlink. Clicking the Advanced radio button at thetop will open up all of your settings. Many of the fields under each tabhave been set up for you and you will find that several of the commonaccess settings can be very useful when used on a case study. Inparticular:
The Start Date and End Date settings are useful for limiting thewindow of time that a case study is available. In combination with theTime Limit and Auto-submit options, this approach is very useful fortake-home case studies, to decrease the amount of time available for
unwanted student collaboration.
The Team Access option is useful for allowing only a team or teams ofstudents to be able to access it. For information on creating teams, seethe section below.
The Password field supports proctored testing through the process of1) password protecting a case study and 2) providing the password toeach designated proctor. The student would be required to scheduleand meet with the proctor to take the test. At test time, the proctor
would provide the password and observe the student during the test to

ensure testing rules are followed (e.g. time limit, use of notes, etc.).
Although there is a Randomization option in the Settings, this option
should always be deselected since the questions are ordered logicallyto build upon each other.
Use the Attempts Allowed field to specify how many times a student
can take the case study. By default the case studies are set up for oneattempt each but this can be adjusted for each case.
Check the Grade book Assignment to adjust the Calculation Typethat would report to the gradebook (ie First, Last, Average, orMaximum score of attempts).
Time Limit specifies the time limit in which users should complete thequiz or survey. Optionally, check the auto-submit option to force thequiz or survey to be submitted when the time expires. When a time
limit has been imposed this settings allows you to specify that a pop-upmessage should be displayed warning users of the amount of timeremaining.
4. Click on the Save button.
Note: Instructors have full access to all instructor tools, reports, can manage thecourse roster, and edit all content. While the Evolve Learning System offers theflexibility for instructors to modify settings on a case study, changing thesesettings may affect the behavior of the case study. These settings would include
validation, security, user preview and any of the feedback options.
**If you would like to have the Attempts Allowed and Calculation Type updatedfor all Case Studies in the course please contact Evolve Support and they canmake this change for you to save you time.
**If you are interested in removing or adding questions to a case study pageplease also call support for assistance as this will affect the grading of the entirecase study.

Lesson 4: Practice Test Instructor QuickStart Guide6.3 Before You Begin

1. Will the tests be used for one semester or multiple semesters throughoutthe curriculum?
2. Will multiple instructors need access to Practice Test?
3. Do you want to use the Practice Test as an independent learning optionfor students or would you rather assign all or some of the tests as agrade?
4. Do you intend to have each student take only tests they need for a part ofa remediation plan, or do you plan to assign them to an entire group orclass of students?
5. If you plan to count them for a grade, do you plan to assign the tests ashomework, quizzes, exams (or a combination of the three)?

remain in the same course and new students would self-enroll eachsemester. Teams can be easily created for each group of students. Ateam will allow an instructor to assign a group of tests and/or a singletest to a team(s) of students. It will also allow the instructor to view onlytheir team of students in the online Gradebook. Information aboutsetting up teams is listed below in this document. For information onhow to enroll multiple instructors in a course, please see the provideddocument on Enrolling co-instructors.
Cohort Solution: More than one Practice Test course can be
requested for each cohort of students. Each user would have a uniqueaccount. The students would remain in a course with only their cohortsthroughout their program. Each instructor would manage theirindividual course during the semester.

Attest time, the proctor would provide the password and observe the student duringthe test to ensure testing rules are followed (e.g. time limit, use of notes, etc.).
The Team Access option is useful for allowing only a team or teams of students tobe able to access a test or group of tests. For information on creating teams, seethe section below.
The Start Date and End Date settings are useful for limiting the window of time
