Quizzes & Exams

Computer science instructors have been using Mimir Classroom to deliver quality curriculum to their students through assignments and projects but wanted to be able to support them during quizzes and exams too. Our team has continued to make platform improvements over time and because of this, we're now supporting quizzes and exams within Mimir Classroom projects.

 

Interactive Code Questions

Code Questions allow students to demonstrate their level of understanding by writing code (and running it instantly), working through debugging their solution, and then submitting the assignment or quiz.

Question Types

Code Question

Code questions are unique to the Mimir Classroom platform and allow instructors to evaluate a higher order demonstrated thinking and problem-solving.

Multiple Choice Question

Designed to have users identify the single correct answer out of numerous possible options.

Checkbox Question

Similar to a multiple choice question, Checkbox questions offer students multiple choices to answer a question, but allows the instructor to require multiple correct answers to be selected to receive full credit for the question.

File Upload Question

This question type allows the student to load work that was not completed or created on the Mimir Classroom platform. Students can upload code files, standard office document types, and images.

Short Answer Question

For the short answer question, you simply type in a question and the user gets a one-line text box to enter their response. This question type is manually graded and does not allow for any formatting of the answer.

Long Answer Question

Long answer questions are best suited for open-ended question responses. They can be used to allow students to share additional understanding or comprehension on a topic.

Grading Workflow

With Mimir Classroom, you can easily review completed assignments, modify scoring, and provide individualized or course feedback.
