Surveys are not required in a course, but they are beneficial for tracking learner feedback on modules.

What is a Survey?
A Survey is not the same thing as an Assessment. A Survey provides learner feedback on the modules -- for example, on the quality of the content and the ease of use. A Survey doesn't have right/wrong answers. An Assessment/Quiz helps reinforce knowledge and test the learner's comprehension of course content and has right/wrong answers.
