How does a student answer a sequence recall question?

A list of items. A sequence shown briefly, reproduced from memory.

How is sequence recall marked?

By rule, the moment the answer is given: the mark needs no reader.

Can Procto AI write sequence recall questions?

Yes: from a chapter, notes or a handout, in this shape, at the level of thinking you set, written from your material only if you say so.

About sequence recall.

Why this shape

A sequence shown briefly and reproduced from memory: span, order and attention in one drill.

An example. Type the numbers you saw, in order.

What it is

Memory questions show something, hide it, and then ask. A list, a passage, an image or a sequence appears for a counted number of seconds, and the question comes when it has gone.

Why it is needed

Retention over a delay is what learning is. A question asked while the material is still on the screen tests reading; the same question asked after it has gone tests what the student holds. Memory shapes turn the quiz into the drill that the research on retrieval practice recommends: recall, not recognition.

When to use it

Use them for vocabulary, sequences, facts that must be held without notes, and for study drills where the student wants to know what they truly remember. Use short reveals for span and detail, longer ones for a passage.

How to write one well

Set the reveal time to the size of what is shown: a few seconds for a short list, longer for a passage. Ask one thing about what was shown. Tell the student before the reveal what they will be asked, or keep it a surprise on purpose, and be consistent within a quiz.

For sequence recall in particular. Start at four items and grow by one.

Mistakes to avoid

A reveal too short to read. A question about a detail the student could not have known mattered. Several questions about one reveal without saying so. Using memory shapes for material the student is allowed to look up.

How EdProcto marks it

EdProcto hides the reveal on the student's screen when the count ends and marks the answer by rule against the accepted list, or by a reader for open answers. The reveal and its seconds are set per question.
