How to earn the badge
Work through Modules I1 to I6 in order and submit all six module quizzes. Each quiz question is worth one point and there are 120 points in total across the six quizzes, so the standard is 108 of those 120 points .
Attempts are unlimited and your highest score on each quiz is the one that counts, so a weak first attempt costs you nothing. Every question is multiple choice and marked automatically, and each one explains its answer once you submit — a retake is a genuine chance to learn the material rather than to guess again.
The two surveys are not graded and do not affect the total, but please complete them. The pre-course survey opens Module I1, and the post-course survey is how we find out whether the course actually changed anything.
