To access the the Retention Assessment Settings, from
the QuickTables sub-navigation, select Class
Settings.
Retention Assessments are given to students when they complete a table
in QuickTables. Their goal is to assess the student's long-term mastery
of the table. QuickTables does not have Progress Assessments. By default,
the number of Retention Assessments per table is two. Additionally,
by default, the number of days between when a student completes a table
and a Retention Assessment is 30 days. Both these settings can be
adjusted, as can a location setting for the Retention Assessment.
When a Retention Assessment is triggered, QuickTables will force the
student to take it so that they are not able to work in any other table
until the assessment is completed.
After a Retention Assessment, the system behaves as it would after an Initial
Assessment: if the result of the Retention Assessment is 100%,
ALEKS displays the congratulations screen. If not, the student can
continue in the Learning Mode. The system will use the result of the
Retention Assessment as a starting state for the Learning Mode. The
student does NOT have to work in this table and can choose another
available table.
NOTE. By default, ALEKS gives two Retention Assessments per
table 30 days after completion, no matter the result of the previous
assessment. (Even if the student scored 100% after the first
Retention Assessment, the student will have another one 30 days later.)
Selecting None means that there will be no Retention Assessment for
the class. Please be aware that if this option was set to one or more,
and a Retention Assessment has been triggered, it cannot be canceled.
Switching the option to None will not cancel a Retention Assessment
that has already started.
