The short questionnaires you’ll complete in Diamonds & Diamond Grading are great ways to determine what you’ve learned and what you might have missed. The questionnaires also give GIA an idea of your progress.

Another terrific way to check your progress is to take another look at the Key Terms and Key Concepts at the end of each assignment. If you run across a term or concept that isn’t clear to you, you can easily turn back to the part of the assignment where it’s discussed in detail. Just look for its mention in the margin.

Now that you’ve finished Assignment 1, complete the first questionnaire. It’s important to do the questionnaires as soon as you finish the assignments—you might forget some of the information in the assignments if you put the questionnaires aside to do later.
