How long does it take to get quiz approved?

Answer 1

@Michal: This statement is also true for those submitting quiz questions. I have been reviewing tonight (c++) and much of the content I have encountered so far is questionable to say the least. The questions that seemed suitable I have had to reject because of things such as spelling mistakes. I guess what I am trying to say is that we should all take our time with these submissions to ensure quality content is available.

Answer 2

backing @jay on this one
a lot of questions which are either complete spam, for example, what is the output with no code and a long field for the answer

or questions which unclear as to what the author meant

approved quiz needs to be a 100% correct without a doubt

with that being said, some cases slip by which results in frustration of the community for incorrect quizzes (in which case there is an option to report it so it can be reviewed)

and of course not to forget that people have actual jobs as well and no one is getting paid for reviewing quizzes, it is all done with the desire to contribute to the community.

bottom line is that quizzes should be made simple and not require complex calculation (nested loops are a nightmare in the given time frame).

they should require some basic knowledge of the language in question (knowledge that was covered in the SL courses, as it is a learning app)

in the end they should activate your logical thinking (in the end, that is what programming is all about) and even teach you some new things

Answer 3

your quiz must be unique

Answer 4

1) you know you can help with reviewing as well, right?
2) i suggest you go through the course of the language in SL and try to make a quiz with accordance to the lessons

Answer 5

@Michael. Quiz acceptance is mainly driven by the community. If you would like the process to work faster get involved with rating submissions!

Answer 6

:/

Answer 7

@Jay exactly. I had found spelling mistakes too but sometimes semantic problems too. Forma example, I have seen quizzes asking about result or what print and its something strange because is not the same
a=5*b-1
and
puts a

so in this way many times it is a problem to choose right option

Answer 8

My quizes were multiple choice each of them supported by oracle documentation. so they were OK and grammatically also. Well will try again. Wish me luck.

Answer 9

I believe that you do not have it easy as reviewers also. But not a single one approved, I was really frustrated.

Answer 10

@Burey I am reviewing them. But there must be someone who approves them because you can only like or dislike there but I have got that it is similar so out.

Answer 11

So that is cool. My quiz was declined due to many similar questions, but that I always get several same questions in several challenges in a row no matter if I had it right or wrong, does not matter. COOL

Answer 12

well i am doing challanges so I know they do not have to be unique and lets be honest there is only so many ways. I would argue that even different is too strong to use sometimes. It is more like who did revision and how good sleep he got.

Answer 13

well why there is not more moderators that are better organized?

Answer 14

Not exactly time, too information and quizzes are submitted to SL
