Quizzes can be created in Proteopedia. Questions can be
- true/false
- multiple choice (more than one correct answer is possible; choices can be text or images or sounds)
- typed one-word answers ("fill in the blank"; optionally any one of multiple answers can be correct; optionally not CaSe sensitive)
- numeric answer (exact number, or optional range, or % tolerance)
Quizzes should be created in protected pages. Scores are emailed to the person creating the quiz.
ExamplesExamples
- Demo quiz by Jaime Prilusky who installed the quizzer into Proteopedia.
- User:Nir_London/FunHunt has an interesting method for interactive molecular scenes, with immediate feedback (which does not use the formal Quiz mechanism).

Scoring and FeedbackScoring and Feedback

ColorsColors
Feedback is given as correct, not answered, incorrect. After the student clicks the Submit button, the color of the vertical bar that spans all the choices indicates whether the answer, as a whole, is correct or incorrect. Individual checkboxes are colored to indicate which were correct and which were incorrect. In the snapshot at right,
- the First Correct Answer was correctly checked
- the First Incorrect Answer should not have been checked
- the Second Correct Answer should have been checked
- the Second Incorrect Answer was correctly not checked.
Since at least one checkbox is incorrect, the answer as a whole scores 0/1.

If you click on a short-answer question on the feedback page, the correct answer(s) appear.
Tool TipsTool Tips
In addition to the colored feedback, tool tips pop up when the student touches a choice on the feedback page without clicking it. These are unfortunately very confusing, and so are best ignored. The colors (see above) are reasonably clear.
ScoringScoring
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, even when the remainder of the checkboxes are correct.
- There is one point per question, even when there are multiple checkboxes (see snapshot above).
- When no answer is given, the answer is scored as incorrect (0).
- 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".

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?)
