Test For Courses in Layer5 Academy

[vr-varad]

Description:

We are currently working on enhancing the Layer5 Academy by adding assessments to measure learning outcomes. Each course in a Learning Path should have an associated Test to evaluate the learner’s understanding of the module.

Task

Create a Test file for a course under a specific course path in the Layer5 Academy. The test will be used to assess the learner’s understanding of the course content.

Docs -> https://docs.layer5.io/cloud/academy/integrating-assessments-in-the-academy/

Location

Create the test in the appropriate path inside the content/learning-paths/ directory.
Reference for format and placement:
test.md Example

Content

• Use the content of the course to derive questions.
• You may use LLM tools to help formulate the questions if needed.
• Include a mix of Single Answers, Multiple Answers, and Short Answers.
• Keep the number of questions around 10.
