With QuizFaber, you can create the following categories of quiz:
A question can have more than one possible answer. Each answer can be correct or wrong but only one is the correct answer.
If you need a question with more than one right answers, you must use the "Multiple answers" type, as explained below.
A question can have more than one possible answer. Each answer can be correct or wrong (it is admitted that a question can have more than one correct answer but not none: at least one correct answer must be inserted).
In that case, the student's answer will be considered as correct only if he or she has clicked on the correct answers and only on the correct answers.
Consequently in a question with two possible correct answers, if a students clicks on a wrong answer, he (or she) will score negatively even if he (or she) found the second right answer.
A question can have more than one possible answer. For each choice, a couple of points (positive or negative) can be assigned:
* points for selected answer
* points for unselected answer
The sum of points gained from the student is automatically converted in a mark : the least mark for minimum points and the greatest mark for the maximum points for that question, and intermediate points are computed with linear interpolation.
The question starts with a text that exposes the content of the question and is followed by a series of statements, each of which can be true or false.
The student's score will depend on the proportion of correct statements he (or she) has made.
Unlike in the multiple answer questions, where an estimated question can be evaluated positively or negatively, a question with true or false can be estimated as partially correct or wrong (the relationship between number of statements guessed out of the total number of proposed affirmations represents the percentage of exact answers: this number will be used in the computation of the final mark).
It is the type of question in which the student can answer freely, writing the own answer. In particular, in the quiz generated, a text box (empty) appears below the question, and the student can supply the answer.
Obviously, such an answer cannot be automatically corrected (not yet at least, they might be when computers become "intelligent"!). For this reason it must always be kept in mind that the assigned final mark at the end of quiz is the mark without the questions that require open answers.
The teacher must subsequently mark such answers himself after printing them.
It is a question constituted of a text prepared by the teacher who chooses the words that will be missing in the quiz. An empty space will appear in their place (a text box in an HTML page or a white space on paper) where the student will have to insert the missing word.
The mark will depend on the percentage of words correctly supplied by the student (the same as the questions with true or false answers).
Naturally, it is possible to omit not only a single word but an entire phrase or even a sentence; that however increases the difficulty for the student to answer correctly because he must write the exact sentence. Consequently, an additional space, a comma, or a simple mistake will entail a negative evaluation.
More details are explained here.
The question introduces two distinct groups of words placed in two columns. The student will have to correlate each word of the first column with one of the second.
QuizFaber allows you to add any type of new question, by developing a custom software "module", written using a Web language (HTML and Javascript programming), in a quite easy way.
