Hi Arran, I wanted to share some feedback regarding the quiz. I noticed that some questions have very misleading instructions. For instance, many questions state, "select one or more" or "select all true," but in reality, there is only one correct answer to these questions. On the other hand, there are questions with no indication of how many answers to select, yet the correct answers are multiple. Due to these misleading instructions, I selected additional options I wasn’t sure about for questions with instructions to select one or more. However, this resulted in a 0 mark even when I had selected the correct option. I hope that future exams won’t have such misleading prompts. Suppose the misleading instructions are intended to increase the quiz's difficulty. In that case, the marking criteria should reflect this by awarding points for the partially correct selections without wrong selections. I believe this would be a fairer way to allocate points for questions where it’s unclear how many correct answers there are. At the very least, it would prevent me from having to select uncertain options. Thank you for considering my suggestion.
