The quiz mechanism in Proteopedia is designed to give immediate feedback to the student, as a help in learning. The main purpose of such quizzing is to help prepare the student for traditional testing.


According to [[Proteopedia:Cookbook#Quiz]], the special implementation in Proteopedia includes the ability to email answers to the teacher. ''(Where is this explained?)''
Bear in mind that by clicking ''edit this page'', the student can see the answers without first submitting anything. Also a student can login, then ask a friend to help with the answers. Therefore, the quiz score itself should not be used in grading. Rather, the fact that a student completes the quiz could count for a small amount of credit, regardless of the score. Attaching a small amount of credit to completing a quiz helps to motivate students to use the quiz at all.
