Quizzes
The purpose for the quizzes in this class
is to both assess the comprehension of the textbook readings and to
provide an insight to online testing.

One way to study for a quiz is to create quizzes for yourself and other
students. Consider this the Mid-Term. Only you get to create it yourself
for the rest of us!
Build Productivity Activities and Quizzes
This week you get to create crossword puzzles, How to be Millionaire
quizzes (Rags to Riches on Quia), hangman, online multiple choice quizzes.
Directions: You
will need to create 2 sets of activities
and quizzes.

mixture of chapters.

9 - 15.
Criteria: Each set must
include

questions
- Minimum of 5 items in an activity, for example 5 words and clues
in a crossword puzzle, 5 hangmans, 5 questions for Rags to Riches
(How to be a Millionaire), 5 elements for Challenge Board (Jeopardy)=

- Online crossword puzzle maker: Well, it's
posted online but not interactive: http://www.crosswordpuzzlegames.com/create.html
- Online
e-Puzzles: includes crossword puzzles that
you CAN play online, as well as word scramble, word search,
anagrams and more. It's FREE, but you do have to sign up.

and math puzzles online. (not interactive) http://puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com/chooseapuzzle.html
- Online Quizzes: This will create interactive
online quizzes for FREE at Discovery School, but you must set up an
account. Quiz
Center Actually, I find that this tool is one of the easiest quiz
makers to use.
- Fun Brain has a quiz maker, but last time
I tried it, it didn't let me have enough space to type a longer question
or answer. It may no longer be free. Check it out at http://quizlab.com
- Free but complicated to set up access, meaning
that students couldn't tell me where the test was online and forgot
how to get access to it again. QuizStar
- If you have a free 30 month trial, you can
use Quia for quizzes. Again, remember
to keep the access information, so we can get to your quiz.
There, that should get you started. If you find
any other free resources, that you like, please let us know.

Under the Apple on the top left, choose a chapter from the arrow drop
down menu. Then choose "Self Test" from the left hand column.
No. Don't use any of these questions. Create your own!
These were created by the authors for the text and may not reflect
the objectives for this course, but it is a good way to practice taking
tests online. However, I'll bet that you can
write more practical, pertinent test questions for us at a higher levels
of thinking. Also, I'll bet that they will be more fun.
