The software will track your progress through your required and, if you choose, your optional courses. After each module you will be prompted to take a short quiz before moving to the next module. The software also provides a grade book which shows you which modules you have completed, the scores you received on each of the applicable quizzes, as well as the modules you have left to complete. You are provided the option to retake any quiz for which you receive a low score. An average of 80% or higher on the quizzes that follow each module is considered acceptable. The Buffalo State’s IRB Administrator will receive completion reports from CITI.
