In order to do some further analysis I usually download the reports of the quiz results as csv files. Today I noticed something that strikes me as odd. In the column for the questions one would expect that the text will be the same for each one of the questions. I found the variations that you can see below, however. This concerns the report for the option 'Responses'.
If you notice, the questions seem to be the same but, right after "} ->" the order of the following elements (corresponding to the options in the multiple choice menu in a 'Matching' type quiz) is shuffled. I don't know why this is the case since when I created the quiz I didn't activate the 'suffle' option.
This is annoying because it makes it difficult for me to process the csv file and establish correlations between different questions and scores. I use 'Random' to assign different versions of the question in some tests. I wanted to see if some versions of the question might pose more difficulties than others.
Question 1, Row 1:
What is the grammatical category of the underlined expressions? Select the best option from the menu in each case. * There is enough work to keep us all pretty busy. 1 2 * It will look real nice when it is finished. 3 4 * The rather gangly old man ran away frantically but he kept looking back at us. 5 6 7 {Word #1 ; Word #2 ; Word #3 ; Word #4 ; Word #5 ; Word #6 ; Word #7 } -> {adjective; clause; adjunct; particle; adverbial phrase; preposition; adverb; verb; modifier; complement; adjective phrase}
Question 1, Row 2:
