This one seemed to be least stressful than others. When an answer to a quiz or exam is incorrect, it immediately gives you what the correct response should have been. Which in turn, helped me to memorize what the correct answer should be.

The Mandatory course, although required, was both informative and educational. One doesn't realize what he doesn't know until taking the course.
