This morning my web course had their 'final quiz' of the semester, a quiz only because it had neither the scope nor the weight of a final exam. Not sure the students were any less anxious about it, though.

I had set aside 90 minutes for the quiz (20 multiple-choice questions), which felt like a lot, but I thought I would err on the side of giving students more time.

I decided to track when students completed their quizes. Here are the results:

As you can see, the quiz finished with quite a bit of time left over. I probably could have set the duration at 60 minutes, and the two outliers would have finished in time anyway. I spoke with a few students who noted that having more time increased the chance of them going back and second-guessing their results.

After the quiz, a few of us regrouped and watched Helvetica, which I thought was good but a bit long, esp for a non-designer group of people. I'm hoping to find other web-related video to show in class in future semesters.

Now, on with the correcting!
