In this example, an assessment consists of five questions that map to two objectives:
To master Objective 1 the learner must correctly answer questions 1 and 2 and to master Objective 2 the learner must answer questions 3-5 correctly. Upon completion of the assessment the learner is able to view their results. The description results could display as:
