So far, I've studied the first three sections of the initial module in the
Nutrition course, namely
- The GI tract and the physiology of nutrient digestion and absorption
- Cellular respiration and main metabolic pathways
- Fluid and electrolyte balance
At the end of every section, there is a multiple choice questionnaire for
self-assessment. I
wrote
a week ago, "I wonder at what level of detail are the students required to
remember", and I've discovered that the answer is "at a very high level".
Some of the questions are not strictly multiple choice as they are looking
for specific words. As an example of a non-multiple choice question, there
is this question from 'cellular respiration': The outer mitochondrial membrane is highly _____ while the inner membrane
is _____. My answer was the outer membrane is
highly permeable (correct) whereas the inner membrane
is semi-permeable (incorrect). The latter answer
is impermeable, but there was no way of knowing that this is the
answer from the question itself. I suspect that the topic of permeability
did not appear in any of the material.
Here's a nasty example of a question from the GI tract section:
Indicate which 3 statements are correct for the gastric phase of
digestive regulation by ticking in the box next to it.
- The gastric phase describes those stimuli that originate from the stomach.
- The gastric phase comprises those stimuli that originate from the head
- Gastric phase stimuli include distention of the stomach (which activates stretch receptors)
- Neural response: Gastric juice secretion and smooth muscle contraction are promoted.
- Gastric secretion and gastric motility are inhibited (enterogastric reflex).
- Intestinal secretions, smooth muscle contraction, and bile and pancreatic juice production are promoted.
I chose 1, 4 and 6, whereas the correct answers are 1, 3 and 4. I got two
answers correct, but instead of receiving a mark for each correct answer
(i.e. 2 marks), I instead received 0.
My marks were 17/22, 18/22 and 13/13 respectively. I can see the questions
and my answers on the website, but I can't figure out how to download them
for futher study. I'll have to go over the first section yet again - this is
far more complicated than the third.
