Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The instructor is responsible for evaluating student performance, and the learner is responsible for becoming aware of clinical behaviors and modifying the behaviors that hinder goal attainment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Tests should be considered learning experiences. Learners should look at tests with the goal of understanding why incorrect answers are wrong, as well as the rationale for correct answers. Looking at the test grade and handing the test and answer sheet back is not optimal learning behavior. Arguing each wrong answer with the instructor does not promote the openness required for optimal learning. Appearing interested in the test results does not promote learning.
