- The TEACHER'S QUIZ MAKER is a program which will help make generating student
- tests a snap. The databases are preloaded with 50 questions (in the registered
- version) in three formats. Each question can be selected as a fill-in, a
- multiple choice, or a true/false. The databases are available in a wide
- variety of subjects and grade levels. The sample questions included in the
- shareware program are intended for grades 4 - 9.
-
- This shareware version is only a sample of what TQM can do. It has ten
- categories, each with ten questions in the three formats (so each actually
- has thirty questions.) You may view the questions on screen or elect to
- print them as a test sheet. The tests are printed with page numbers, a place
- for the student's name, a place for the date, and instructions for each
- question type. The tests are ready to be copied for student use straight from
- the printer. Also, you may save quiz sheets and load them at a later time or
- change the questions contained in the database.
-
- TEST RESULTS CALCULATOR
- This option is useful for determining % grades, degree of difficulty for each
- question, and a grade curve for difficult tests. It can be used on any test,
- not just those produced using TQM.
-
- The items which can be displayed are the % grade chart (Some tests are easy to
- figure; a test with 10 questions means that each question is worth 10% - 8
- correct answers is a grade of 80%. However, this is not so easy for a test
- with 27 or 43 questions. This option helps to do the math for you.)
-
- The degree of difficulty (a measure of how hard each question was for the
- students) and/or get a grade curve based on results. This is often very useful
- to have this type of analysis. It can point out problem areas for the class as
- a whole; areas they did not learn, areas that may not have been well covered
- during lessons, etc. Also, to be absolutely fair to students, it is often
- necessary to curve the grades in order to more correctly rate a student's
- performance as compared to the other students' performances. Not just how many
- questions were answered correctly.

-
- THE REGISTERED VERSION
- The shareware version is merely a sampling of what TQM can do. In order to
- experience its full usefulness, you must register and get the full featured
- version. The registered version works the same way but can handle databases
- much larger.
-
- Included with the full featured program, registration will get you a free
- database of your choice (from what is currently available). The cost of
- registering is $25.00. Each additional questions database wanted is $7.50.

- NOTE - For a limited time I am offering the COMPLETE program with all 32 of
- the question databases pre-installed, the manual, and all question
- lists for only $200.00 - a savings of over $57.
-
- A FINAL WORD
- TQM is very useful for other things as well. You can use the questions in the
- databases for student project ideas, discussion starters, research topics, and
- so on.
-
- I am currently working on volume 2 of this program which will include 32 more
- catagories of questions (if you would like to see a particular subject area
- covered, send me a note.)
-
- I am also working on a companion program which will allow students to take
- multiple choice and/or true/false tests on the computer. It will have auto
- grading, student ranking, grade curving and several reporting options. This
- will be sent to all registered users of TQM free of charge.
-
- Orders can be placed using ORDER.TQM - Just print it, fill it out and mail.
