What is in the Sources, judged (secondary) kit?

Questions that give a described source from the material and ask what it says, its origin and purpose, and its use and limits as evidence. It writes 10 questions from the material you paste, in the Multiple choice shape, and is asked to keep each to it.

Does it cost anything?

A free account opens every kit. Procto AI’s writing runs on a monthly allowance that the free plan includes; a children’s kit uses none of it, because its questions are made by rule.

What happens after the quiz?

The study screen shows the answer and the explanation after each question, then the questions missed, and offers a retry of those. Come back in a few days and take it again: what is still right then is what is known.

About this kit.

Questions that give a described source from the material and ask what it says, its origin and purpose, and its use and limits as evidence.

What the history, geography and religion kits are

History with dates in order and sources judged, geography with maps clicked and regions outlined, religious studies with texts and their claims. Rule kits for capitals, dates, flags and the sequence of events; material kits from your own textbook.

Why they are built this way

The humanities are about sequence, place and argument. A timeline shape tests the order of events better than any multiple choice; a map shape tests where; a source question tests judgement. These kits use those shapes, so a history student is tested as a historian is.

How to use them

Use the timeline and map kits for the backbone facts and the material kits for the course's own arguments. For essays, the defend-a-position shape with a rubric.

Written from your material

This kit is a recipe: the shape, the number of questions, the sections and the instructions Procto AI follows. Paste your own material and the questions are written from it, each with the passage its answer came from. Procto AI is asked to keep to your material, and each key is yours to check; every question is yours to edit before anyone sees it.

The shape: multiple choice

The workhorse of assessment: one right answer among plausible options, marked at once, comparable across every student. Written well, the wrong options map the misconceptions in the room.

EdProcto marks selection questions by rule the moment the answer is given. Several-answer shapes give credit for the part that is right when partial credit is on; negative marking takes one over the number of wrong options, so guessing earns nothing on average; a confidence rating earns a bonus when sure and right and a larger penalty when sure and wrong, so it pays only when it is honest. Options can be shuffled per student, and the analysis shows which wrong option beat the right one.

Taking it

Open it in study mode for the answer and the explanation after each question, and a retry of only what you missed. Switch to exam mode for the real conditions. It comes due again in a few days; the dashboard shows what is due and what you missed last time. Share it with a code for a class, print it as a paper, or host it on a screen for a room.
