# How to use Student Assessments (Comprehensive)

## When your students enroll into the course, assessments are the only way for you to evaluate your students' progress. This part will demonstrate how to use it.

Located within the Unit Timeline, you will find the assessments that Students are required to complete. As a Trainer, you have some additional functionality in the assessments area to help make marking easier.

Click on the **Assessment thumbnail** to view these options. Depending on the unit there may be 1, 2 or even up to 4 assessments that Students are required to complete. Each assessment task will be numbered and in logical order.

There are 3 buttons on the assessment thumbnail: 

1. **Task**: if you click this button, you can open or download a PDF copy of the assessment questions. This is a helpful tool to use if you want your students to review the assessment requirements prior to completing the assessment online.

2. **Answers**: if you click this button, you can open or download a PDF copy of the assessment questions and answers.

3. **Go**: This option opens the assessment in the Portal. It is a similar view to what your Students will see when they are completing their assessments online.
