Courses Plus Student 1,370 PointsQuiz fail & suggestion for improved learning
Unless I am missing something, there doesn't seem to be a way of obtaining an answer to a missed question in the quizes. While I find it useful to get the "hooray" feedback when I get it right, I find it of no value to get a big red X for a failed answer and then given a completely different question. I would love to know what I did wrong in order to actually "learn from my mistake". If I am wrong and there is indeed a way of revealing the correct answer, please do let me know.

If you have any questions about a particular question on a quiz, post a link to the quiz and which question it is and someone here on the forum will help you out.

Courses Plus Student 1,370 PointsJames, thanks for your response. I know I can head back to the video and watch again but, as far as I can tell, I don't get a second chance to get it right as a failed response immediately leads to a new question.
I just wanted to make a suggestion (think of it more as feature request I suppose) as an alternative to having to interrupt the flow of the quizes and going back through the entire clip. I really love how you guys offer up an additional new question for each wrong answer, just thought it might be nice to be get a "sorry, you chose A, but answer was actually B" before moving along.
Anyway, no worries I know I can rewind and all. Thanks.

39,199 PointsI think the idea behind not giving away the answer is that if you don't get enough right usually 4 out of 5 you then have to re-take the quiz. There would be no point in re-taking the quiz if you had already been the answers to those questions.
