Mastery-based quizzes require a student’s understanding of fundamental concepts.

Students will more effectively test their mastery of content through quizzes:

• Quizzes will require the student to answer 3-5 problems correctly, in a row, before ‘passing’ the test.  This means they must have full mastery- 100%-  of the concept before moving on.
• Quizzes will allow the student limitless attempts.  This allows the student to try without feel of failure.
• There shall be 2-4 progressively supporting hints available, with the final one giving the correct answer.  If a student uses a hint, that problem does not count towards mastery.
• The quiz shall allow for easy access to the associated video(s).
• Each quiz question shall have randomly generated numbers (and words, where applicable), based on a prescribed problem model.
• Initial solution sets will be multiple-choice, most likely.  The platform will grow to involve the creation of a more robust quiz architecture.
• Quizzes will test one- and only one- concept, through time-tested problems.
• Quizzes may be used by professors to assess student progress and status.  They may use quiz achievement as a prerequisite for course activities.  They may use quiz achievement as a guide for requiring extra work from students.
