Course II Final Assessments and Conclusion

Congratulations on making to the final assessment module of this course! The exam will focus on the new module materials from this course: the endocrine system, blood and lymphatic systems, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system. However, you still have to know all the basic rules, roots, prefixes, and suffixes from the beginning of the specialization since they apply to these systems as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
