Schmoop quizzes? - a2jc4life - 08-29-2017
I just started a Schmoop course for the first time today. They say the quizzes are there to help give you an idea of how well you know the material -- but I couldn't find a way to see what I'd missed. Is there a way to do that, that I'm overlooking? Or are you just not able to see any more than how many you got right?

As far as I know, there is no way to see quiz answer choices after submission.
The other thing quizzes are really useful for is padding your grade. Quizzes do count toward the overall grade, look for the blue 'view progress' button, to see the effect of the quizzes in both overall grade and toggle to the individual. You can retake them once.

According to the intro, quizzes don't count toward the overall grade, but unit tests do.

Okay - quizzes show the answers
Unit tests do not.
Quizzes do not count.
Unit tests count.
People are just mixing up terminology.

You can hit the back button on quizzes to see the answers. FYI quizzes didn't help when I was doing the tests. Their tests are very hard imo
RE: Schmoop quizzes? - a2jc4life - 08-31-2017
Oh, I didn't try the back button (I don't think). But I did eventually figure out that if I used the syllabus to navigate back to the beginning of the lesson and move forward until I reached the quiz, it showed the answers.

Advice/Recommendation: Create a searchable document (word or pdf file). Basically, copy each page of the course unit into the document so you can find the answers quickly. It'll be an "open book exam" type of thing for each unit test and even the finals. You'll have to also have the course open on another browser just in case some has links/pictures, etc and the info is in those links.

Yes, sorry about that. Where I was saying quizzes I meant end of unit exams.

Have you been able to do this with Shmoop? Every time I try to print or select-all, or save as pdf or any other thing.... I get a garbled mess.
RE: Schmoop quizzes? - bjcheung77 - 09-01-2017
That's because of the formatting and extra coding on the webpage. The easiest way to get that done basically is to copy just the text.
If it goes overboard and copies a picture, or banner, then don't select it, go through that diligently until all the texts are showing in your word document and you can save a searchable copy in word & pdf.
Make sure to also have the actual Course open in one browser and the exam in another browser/tab. This way, you can review the pictures/links or anything missing in the pdf/word doc. Sometimes I would also copy the hyperlinks if there's a lot of useful info in them... otherwise, I leave it.
