Best practices

  • Use in live quizzes where you can hear participants
  • Provide clear evaluation criteria
  • Model answer helps with fair evaluation
  • Enable rounds for harder questions

​
When NOT to use

  • Asynchronous quizzes (no live contact)
  • Large groups where you can’t hear answers
  • Questions with single, short answers (better “Fill in blank”)

​
Example

Question: Explain why water has maximum density at 4°C. Model answer: Hydrogen bonds create open structure when freezing. At 4°C the balance between molecular motion and bonding gives densest packing.
