When you complete the online library instruction for WRT 1060, you will earn a grade when you complete the learning assessment.

The learning assessment is only available when you have completed all parts of the online library instruction.

This assessment is out of 25 points -- if you earn at least an 80% (20 of 25 points), you will receive a badge that indicates you've successfully completed the content.

Here's what that badge will look like: 

You should share this badge with your professor by providing them with the unique URL for your badge (not just the image of the badge!).

You will receive a link to this badge in an email once you score at least 80% on the assessment; you can also use these instructions from eLIS to locate your badge so you can share the link with your professor.

If your instructor has asked you to share a specific grade or score with them, you can get that information from the learning assessment:

1. Click on the learning assessment (once you've taken it!)
2. Take a screenshot of your quiz score(s), like this image (also displayed below)
3. Then, submit this screenshot along with the unique URL for your badge
