Installing

This will install the extension and create an example qmd file that you can use as a starting place for your quiz.

Try the template!

See template.qmd for an example of all of the features of this format. Read more about them below.

Using

Create a new question

Create a new question by making a new level two header ##, the same way that you'd make a new slide in reveal. Example:

##

What is your name?

Flag a question as true-false

You can indicate that a question is true/false and provide a blank spot to write an answer at the beginning of the question, by adding the .tf class to the level two header.

Example:

## {.tf}

The *mean* is a measure of spread.

Create multiple choice bubbles

You can create bubbles for different multiple choice answers using a bullet list.

Example:

##

What is the definition of a *p-value*??

- The probability that the null hypothesis is true.
- The probability of observing our test statistic or more extreme when the null hypothesis is true.
- The probability of observing our test statistic or more extreme when the null hypothesis is false.

You can spread the answers over multiple columns by separating each bullet point with a line that contains only * * *.

Example:

##

Which are measures of center?

- SD
* * *
- IQR
* * *
- Median

Create checkboxes

You can change the shape used to indicate each choice in a multiple choice question by adding the .select-all class to the question.

Example:

## {.select-all}

Which are the names of US states?

- California
- Italy
- Alabama
- Canada

Add name boxes

The template defaults to having one box in the header for a name. This can be increased by using the n-names key in the document YAML.

Example:

---
title: Quiz 1
format:
  stat20quiz-pdf:
    n-names: 3
---

There is space for 1-3 names.

Make versions

You can make different versions, A-Z, by adding a version capital letter under the version key.

Example:

---
title: Quiz 1
format:
  stat20quiz-pdf:
    version: A
---

This version will appear at the right side of the header after the title.

You can write version-specific inline content by wrapping it in a bracketed span and giving it a class of the version letter: .vA through .vZ.

Example:

The *mean* is a measure of [spread]{.vA}[center]{.vB}.

When version: A in the document YAML, that line will read, The *mean* is a measure of spread. When version: B, it will read The *mean* is a measure of center. Note that you can add multiple version classes to the same span.

Add Directions

You can draw attention to directions by wrapping the text is a fenced div with the class .directionsbox.

Example:

:::{.directionsbox}
Clearly write *True* or *False* on each blank line below.
