Adaptive Quizzing common questions

What is EAQ? EAQ is an adaptive quizzing engine, powered by an algorithm, where practice questions for each are chosen for a student based on his/her performance on a previous quiz. Quizzes are generated by the adaptive engine by filtering on selected topics and prioritizing the questions based on user need of difficulty level, previous experience on quizzes and questions, and current mastery level. The goal for the student is to achieve mastery through practicing a topic. What is a mastery level? Mastery levels indicates how well you understand specific topics. Mastery levels clearly reveal which topics you have mastered and which topics you need to study further. Within each chapter or topic, questions are available in three clearly defined, color-coded levels. Students’ progress from one level to the next after demonstrating competence in their current level. What is a confidence indicator? Students can identify their confidence level when submitting answers so that they can revisit questions on which they might have guessed. When submitting your quiz answers, select "Just a guess", "Pretty sure", or "Nailed it" to help guide you on the right path for future learning. How do I access my assignments?

In the Welcome Center of your home page, EAQ has determined and enabled quizzing for the top 3 topics you should focus on. Simply select "Start Quiz" to begin a quiz on the topics listed. Why can't I reach my mastery level? Mastery is calculated by an adaptive engine that determines mastery for a taxonomy using question difficulty level and progress show through other quizzes. As the likelihood of a student answering a given question with a certain taxonomy and difficulty level increases, their mastery will increase. A certain percentage of questions with difficulty ratings have to be completed to reach each mastery level (1-3). Why is it taking me hundreds of questions to reach a specific Mastery Level? Creating quizzes with more than two topics/concepts/chapters may result in it taking longer to achieve mastery. It is recommended to create individual mastery quizzes for no more than 2 topics/concepts/chapters per mastery level assignment. ................................................................................................CONTINUE
