Quizzes

Hello!

I'm feeling a little frustrated with the quizzes, as sometimes the questions are a little ambiguous or binary in their answer required. For example - Quiz 4 Question 2 at the start states that you are to select the two most appropriate indicators for each scenario.  Then after each scenario, it says to select one or more, suggesting more than two is possible. All answers are relevant in one way or another and it is difficult to necessarily determine what is deemed 'most' relevant.  When I selected 3 boxes, and if one happened to be incorrect, it stated I was partially correct, allowing for another try.  On the second try, I made a correction only to be then told I was partially correct and provided too many responses.  If only two were answers were allowed, it should have prevented you from marking 3 boxes.

In Quiz 5 Question 3 - Statement 1 - 'Everyone involved in caring for the child must be at the meeting' - the answer revealed was True.  With this one, when listing to the Child Planning Audio of Pam and Liz - it was suggested that having all professionals associated with the child (which can be large in number) can be overwhelming and that the meetings could be more comfortable for the parent and child, with fewer (but relevant) people being in attendance.  This was supported by the revealed explanation which stated "you can decide with the family and other professionals who are most useful to be at the meeting'.  This is contradictory.  I selected FALSE in light of the statement using the word 'must', as I felt that it was the type of scenario where not all professionals attached to a child's case are always needed in every child planning meeting.

The quizzes are useful to summarise the learning and to provide an explanation if you do not quite understand, however, I seem to be looking at the content of the course in a nuanced manner but the quizzes are in fact quite rigid. 

On reflection, I have learned and understand the content but my confidence for passing Quiz 6 in one attempt has been eroded purely by my experience of consistently misinterpreting the actual quiz questions along the way.  I don't mind being wrong but I am a little concerned about actually passing Quiz 6 and would be disappointed if I failed on technicalities rather than my learning being accurately reflected. 

My reason for mentioning this is just as constructive criticism in regard to how the course could be improved.

Has anyone else experienced issues with the Quizzes or is it just me and my style of learning?

Thanks.
