Make Your Form a Quiz
Need-To-Know
The algorithm for the quiz feature isn’t perfect. You will have to let students know that for Checkbox answers they must get the entire answer correct to receive value for the question.
Click the gear wheel and choose “Quizzes”. You’ll now see a box that says “Total” at the top of the form.
Click ‘Make this a quiz.” Choose when to release the grade and visibility. Remember to click ‘Save’.
Assign Point Values
Click on the question.
Click ‘ANSWER KEY’.
In the top right of the question change the point value.
*Remember, for checkbox questions it is ‘all or nothing’ for points.
Assign Correct Responses
Click on the question.
Click online correct answer or answers (all answers can have multiple correct responses, so in the question description add support text that states how many correct answers there are)
Assign Custom Feedback
To assign feedback, first assign point values.
‘ADD ANSWER FEEDBACK’
Add feedback with YouTube and/or website links. (at the moment, no attachments can be added)
Suggestions: Use positive language, such as “That’s right!” or “Close, but not quite!” Further suggestions on next slide.
Assign Custom Feedback
Suggestions
Start all feedback with positive language, such as “That’s right!” or “Close, but not quite!”
When writing feedback prepare on a Google Doc the same response in detail for correct and incorrect answers. This will reinforce correct answers (especially for correct answers that may have been guesses) and will provide detailed explanations for incorrect answers.
Grading Quizzes & Chromebooks Lock
Mode
In Google Forms Quizzes you can now add half point values, as well as merge quizzes response Google Sheets with Google Classroom. Learn how to do this at the G Suite Learning Center.
If your school is a Chromebooks school, your G Suite Administrator can activate the “Lock Mode” so that when taking quizzes on a Chromebook students cannot leave the browser and are ‘locked’ into the quiz until completed.
Grading Quizzes & Chromebooks Lock
Mode
In EDU domains, there are suggested answers available for ‘general knowledge’ questions. Useful in Multiple Choice questions. This saves time. *See an animated gif on Google’s blog. Other features include:
Autocomplete Answers
Automatically grade checkbox and multiple choice grid questions
Access the same blog for explanations.
FORCE THE CORRECT ANSWER BEFORE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT QUESTION
Require the Correct Answer
How to Force a Correct Text Answer
Require the Correct Answer
Why do this?
This is a good for activities that require a process in which one answer leads to the next prompt.
Used for Paragraph, Short Answer, and Checkbox questions (with specific, case-sensitive answers for text).
Example
I use this feature for practicing efficient Google Searches with focused keywords in Social Studies / Individuals & Societies classes.
The ‘How to’ is on the next slide.
How to Force a Correct Text Answer
Click the three dots at the bottom left of the question.
Click ‘Response validation’.
Choose ‘Regular expression’. (in the first dropdown column)
Choose ‘Matches’ in the second dropdown column.
Type the exact answer in the ‘Pattern’.
Note: You should add help text that gives the number of words and if the response is case sensitive, note it.
