Assessments & Certificates
Assessments and Grading
This course contains ungraded quizzes and discussion activities, which all learners are encouraged to attempt. You are encouraged to complete all of the assessments, as they are your opportunity to gauge how well you understand the material. For the quizzes, you will have two attempts at each question if it has multiple answers, and only one attempt if the question has only two answers or is true/false.
FINAL EXAM
For the final exam, please remember:
-
You will be allowed only two attempts to select the correct answers for multiple-choice and “check all that apply” questions.
-
You will be allowed only one attempt at the correct answer for True/False questions or multiple choice questions with just two answers.
Certificates
In this course, learners have the opportunity to earn a free certificate:
UNEP Certificate of Completion: All learners have the opportunity to earn a free Certificate of Completion, awarded by UNEP, upon completing the course. If you would like to receive the UNEP Certificate, be sure to complete the post-course survey and follow the instructions carefully. Please note that these certificates will be generated manually by the UNEP team and sent to the email address you provide, so you may not receive your certificate right away. Your patience is appreciated.
Please note that the certificate is not credit-bearing on its own. However, some students have been able to negotiate for academic credit with their universities. Speak with your institution to see if this is an option for you.
