Scoring and Feedback

In some types of questions (types "()" and "{}"), only one answer can be given. Examples are true/false, multiple choice with radio buttons, and single word answers. In these cases, "wrong" and "right" are unambiguous.

In questions with checkboxes (type "[]"), it is possible for more than one choice to be correct. In order to count as a correct answer, all correct checkboxes must be checked, and no incorrect checkbox may be checked. If a single checkbox is incorrect, the whole answer is counted as incorrect, despite the remainder of the checkboxes being correct.

Feedback is given as correct, not answered, incorrect.

  • There is one point per question, even when there are multiple checkboxes (see example below).
  • When no answer is given
  • For questions where the answer is a typed word of text, the answer must be an exact match. That is, you get no credit for "Pluto" when the answer is "Plato".

Pedagogy

The quiz mechanism in Proteopedia is designed to give immediate feedback to the student. 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?)
