Does Quiz allow for Student Instructions?

Number of replies: 4

I am creating a vocabulary quiz which is comprised of 4 parts:  definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and fill in the blank. I have made each one of these parts it's own category in the question bank.  However, each of these parts requires its own unique set of instructions to the student.  For example, in the synonyms section students must "choose the letter that most nearly means the same".... whereas for the antonyms section students must "choose the letter that most nearly means the opposite."

How do I include student instructions for each of the 4 parts of my quiz?

Thanks

Create a 'question' of type Description, and add it to the quiz at the start of each section.

So simple.  Why didn't I think of that.  I assume this means I can't shuffle the questions.  Or is there a way to fix the Description question in place?

Thanks!

No, you can't use shuffle, but you can use random questions.

Suppose each of your categories
  • definitions
  • synonyms
  • antonyms
  • fill in the blank
contain 3 questions.

Then you can build your quiz like
  • definitions description
  • Random question from category 'definitions'
  • Random question from category 'definitions'
  • Random question from category 'definitions'
  • synonyms description
  • Random question from category 'synonyms'
  • Random question from category 'synonyms'
  • Random question from category 'synonyms'
  • antonyms description
  • Random question from category 'antonyms'
  • Random question from category 'antonyms'
  • Random question from category 'antonyms'
  • fill in the blank description
  • Random question from category 'fill in the blank'
  • Random question from category 'fill in the blank'
  • Random question from category 'fill in the blank'
