Hi, thank you for giving us your feedback on the syntax for testing mcq questions.
To test MCQ questions, I’m asked to open the question based on index using the open INDEX command. After this, I’m asked to test myself by using the test INDEX o/ANS syntax. Why do I need to put an index in a second time? Aren’t I already in the question that I want to try out?
Our intent for include INDEX
in test
is to make it analagous with testing an open ended question, where you can test
the open ended question without using open
on it. Having INDEX
in the both types of test commands, the user just needs to remember the to include the INDEX
for both testing an open ended question and testing an MCQ, instead of having to remember two seperate path flows as suggested, which is:
open 1
-> test o/ANS
(for MCQ)test 1 ans/ANS
(for OEQ)Instead, by having the INDEX
always there, you know for a fact that whether you open
or not, you will still need the INDEX
to test the question.
The issue is worsened by the fact that there is no indication of which question I am currently viewing in the user interface
We have included the up
keystroke to go to the previous command you have typed, so that in case you forgot the INDEX
that you typed moments ago, you can use the up
keystroke to see the previous open INDEX
. However, your suggestion is to include the indication of the question sounds good as well and we can include that in future version.
As this is a suggestion, under the PE rules as shown below, we will reject this issue:
Team chose [response.Rejected
]
Reason for disagreement: I feel that this is part of the features that don't fit well with the product due to the syntax
Team chose [severity.Low
]
Originally [severity.VeryLow
]
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
Not very intuitive with test followed by index of the question. Should only allow test when the flashcard is opened
