JS for multiple choice questions (i worte it myself)

[RohanShenoy]

The basic version of the script has following:

• 5 multiple choice questions
• Disallows changing of answers once marked
• Scores every correct answer as 1 mark. Unattempted or incorrect answers are NOT scored negatively
• Show the total score and total no. of unattempted questions at the end of test
• Show no. of unattempted questions in real-time

Following enhancements are possible if script is appropriately modified:

• Have unlimited questions
• Can have negative scoring for incorrect answers
• Can have relative scoring (Eg: 1 mark for option A but 2 marks for option C)
• Can have effect of darkening the circle once marked (using the image swap function)
• Can have a timer and set actions
• Can have the answer sheet emailed for analysis(using a CGI or PHP script with message template)
• Many other modifications are possible as per your need

See the script in action at http://javascript.biologyformhtcet.c...on_script.html or http://tinyurl.com/ywdgoj

Wow, this is a neat script! I currently have no need for something like this, but I'll remember it if I ever do... Thanks for making that available!

Thanks buddy!

I am making an improved version of that script. Will post at that page itself where its currently there

[Stuart]

Could I make one suggestion? Try posting your script in the Webforumz Cafe or the Free Website Critique Forum. The javascript forum is more for help with javascript. If you want people to comment your scripts, use the forums I mentioned above. I am sure you'll get good critique there.

I think this is the right place for this thread swagner. It's a JS script so it goes in the JS forum

[Stuart]

Yes, I know. But isn't this a critique thing :: Critique Forum? Sorry if I am completely wrong and have made some serious errors in judgment. I still have not been to every forum on this site and therefore am not completely familiar with the type of content that should (or should not) be posted in each one... Again, sorry!

[Monie]

Did he ask for critiques?? I don't see it!
Is it a website for us to critique? No? This forum critique area is just for website critique. I think Rohan just wanted to share with all of us in the JS forum that he has coded a very "cool js stuff" by himself, am I right Rohan? Nice work there!

By the way, I've scored 4 out of 5 question in your quiz there!

Hey Monie, thanks for the appreciation!

I just wanted to show off my work to others. I remember when I needed one such script for my site, I could not get it. I got those crippled with restrictions.

So I decided to write my own script which shall be free from all those crippling restrictions. Now I am putting it here so that if others too need any such script, they have this one as a potential option.

I didn't specifically ask for the critique because I am not in a mood to hear negative comments atleast at this moment, because coding this has taking me many days! If you have any negative comments about the script, please do tell it politely, but do not cripple my enthusiasm by harsh or rude negative comments.

When I started writing this script, the only function that I knew was alert(). From then, I have gone appreciably ahead.

I agree that the script needs improvement in many obvious areas as well, and I am working on it. Please give your suggestions. I welcome them

[Monie]

Now we can think of CRITIQUE but I think you are in the right forum by the way...

Ok, my first POSITIVE critique will be, after we click the "show my score" button and display our score, you should alert the user the correct answer for the wrong one. Is that make sense?

Of you have a reason for that?

[RohanShenoy]

^ Monie, thanks for the feedback.
I am writing this enhancement for the script:
After the student clicks on 'Show my score', a detailed report card would be produced which would look something like below:


I am also looking for a way to mail the answer to the person who made the quiz. Even thats half-done!

[Monie]

Wow.. you must be a javascrriptgeek, lol.
That is a very effective way! Inform us when you finished writing them, I want to have a look at it! Maybe I could use it someday..

Cheers..

[RohanShenoy]

Hey, I have just finished with an enhacement of the 'Detailed report card'. Have a look at the screenshot below:

No need to be sorry or delete your post. We are all human ... mistakes are a common thing!

[alexgeek]

Can I just say this.
The forum is called "free website critique". It's for critiquing websites.
Hope that clears it up Swagner.

And I like your multiple choice thing

Thanks Karinne! I feel much better (it always sounds like you guys hate me when you're "scolding" my posts...).

[alexgeek]

It's cos we do

Why would you think that?

I'm only joking

I don't know... It's just that sometimes, it sounds like you guys are looking down your nose at me. This is especially emphasized when I get negative rep points saying things like "silly response" or "not a valid answer" or something like that. I am sure that you don't really hate me, but it sure does seem like that sometimes... No hard feelings though!

[karinne]

AH!!! Now I understand and I thank you for letting me know this! I removed those negative reps BTW since I thought they were totally un-called for!

Now .... back on topic please!

[Stuart]

Thanks Karinne! Yes, back on topic: Rohan, I love what you've done with the "report card". It really makes it easier to overlook the score you get. Keep it up!

Thanks Swagner. I had actually posted the link to the new MCQ script in action but later deleted it due to some bugs. I am debugging it now!
