Buzz: Questions & Answers

matching question with less options

Is there a way to have a matching question with only 2 or 3 options from a pull down menu?  This would be used with multiple questions have the same answer.  Right now there are multiple options that are the same and if the students do not pick the one that was right next to the original question it is being counted wrong.  I am not sure if this makes sense; here is an example:

eine=Schokolade

ein= Heft

eine=Fahne

ein=Buch

ein=Ordner

 

Even if students pick ein for one of the words if they do not pick the correct ein it is being counted wrong.  

Thank you!

I'm not sure if this will fit the structure of your question, but you need to turn the terms around. The way you have it listed above, the article (ein, eine, etc) will be the question, then the pop-up will be the noun (Heft, Buch, etc). The way you wrote it above, you have 2 questions that say ein and your students don't know whether to select Heft or Buch.

If you do this:

Heft=ein

Buch=ein

Ordner=ein

Buzz will recognize that you used the same answer more than once and it will only appear once in the drop-down menu, but the students can select it multiple times.

Note that you can also add distractors like this:

 = einest

 = das

 = einemer

Those extra terms will appear in the drop-down but aren't actually answers.

Below is an example of that in my geometry class. Even though "linear pair" is used twice, it only appears once in the list of possible answers.

a. ∠1 and ∠2 = Vertical Angles
b. ∠2 and ∠6 = Alternate Interior Angles
c. ∠1 and ∠8 = Linear Pair
d. ∠1 and ∠5 = Alternate Exterior Angles
e. ∠4 and ∠7 = Corresponding Angles
f. ∠3 and ∠7 = Alternate Interior Angles
g. ∠5 and ∠7 = None of these
h. ∠8 and ∠5 = Consecutive (Same Side) Exterior Angles
i. ∠2 and ∠3 = Consecutive (Same Side) Interior Angles
j. ∠3 and ∠4 = Vertical Angles
k. ∠4 and ∠8 = Alternate Exterior Angles
l. ∠6 and ∠7 = Consecutive (Same Side) Interior Angles
m. ∠3 and ∠8 = Corresponding Angles
n. ∠3 and ∠5 = Linear Pair
