Abstract:
Some comments of the author are presented on his experience concerning the use of computer quizes in teaching fundamental microbiology to medical students. The simple true-false type question was one of the best suited forms for computer display because of its simplicity. Multiple choice questions consisting of pleural (usually five) simple true-false sentences were too cumbersome. Repeatability is one of the advantages of computer quizes. Furthermore the shuffling of questions is simple to perform on the computer. The computer quiz is one form of preparation and review, and differs from examinations in that students have mutiple chances and time to take the quiz. With the computer-quiz teachers also have the chance to make better contact with students, and through their care of students, teachers remember more faces and names of students.
