Main properties

The main properties of a quiz are following:

·     Maximum mark: at the end of the quiz, a final mark will be assigned to the student. The range of mark is between 0 up to 9999.
·     Minimal mark: the minimal obtainable mark answering when all answers to the questions are wrong.
·     Maximum time: from the beginning of quiz, the student will have a maximum time in order to answer to all the questions. When this maximum time expires, the quiz will finish automatically. The time is expressed in hours and minutes. The maximum duration is up to 99 hours and 59 minutes (more than four days!).
·     Mark round: the mark can be expressed as an integer number or a real number (with decimal point) or a fraction of unit (0.5 or 0.25 are typical values). For example, if the range of mark starts from 0 to 10, it is possible to express the mark 6+ as 6.25 or 6 and half as 6.5

The section "Assignment mark-valuation" allows to define a list of assignment between a mark interval and a text evaluation. An example of evaluation could be "Good", "Fairly good", "Bad"... You can also specify a grade scale for American students: For example, if the grade is between 0 to 100, you get "A+" from 95 to 100, "A" from 93 to 94...

Here is a list of options:

·     Show quiz correction only at the end of examination:If the option is checked, the result of the quiz will be shown to the student only at its end. If this option is not checked, for every question a message of right or wrong answer will be shown.
