About MCQ
ABOUT MCQ
This MCQ System was developed at the University of Leeds by Ken Tait of the Computer Based Learning Unit in collaboration with Ian Hughes of the Department of Pharmacology. Earlier versions of the same system were implementent for VMS using the FOAL language which is a part of of the CBLU's GALTS authoring system.
This system is written in Asymmetrix ToolBook 1.5 and runs under Microsoft Windows 3.0 or 3.1.
This system still being tested. In particular the Pharmacology and Microbiology MCQ files have been taken directly from VMS and reprocessed. No systematic attempt has yet been made to ensure that the text is always correctly laid out. Ken Tait (4628) will be pleased to receive any information which can be used to improve this version of the MCQ System or the questions.
Advice
CHOOSING HOW MANY QUESTIONS
If there are a large number of questions in a topic do not repeatedly ask for a small number. It is quicker to ask once for a larger number but it is inadvisable to ask for more than half of the available questions. You will also see a greater variety of questions this way.
HOW TO BE GUIDED BY YOUR SCORES
Concentrate on those topics for which your performance is poor.
Occasionally clear an individual score or wipe all the scores so that you can assess your current performance.
FREQUENCY OF USE
A short period (say an hour) every week is better than several hours in the last few days before the examinations.
s before the examinations.
