Short-Answer Questions

It is very simple to present short-answer questions in the AppletQuiz applet. In addition to the question itself, you just need to supply the applet with a simple "separator line" that identifies the question type and gives the correct answer. (Detailed instructions follow.)

The AppletQuiz presents your question in a window separate from your web page, and supplies a text field in which the student may type the answer to the question, a "Next Question" button to skip the question, or a "Quit" button to quit the quiz.

An example question is shown below as it appears in the question file, and as it appears in the AppletQuiz applet.
