After the quiz is completed, it calculates a score and allows the quiz taker to return to incorrect answers, where the student is coached toward the correct answer and the section of the chapter from which the question was drawn. Students and teachers alike should be aware that the quiz tests only the most basic comprehension of chapter content, such as dates, places, names of people and events, and so on. The quizzes do not assess readers' comprehension of concepts. A perfect score should be expected from any reader with modest reading and comprehension skills. Clicking the chapter index box takes the user to an alphabetized list of the chapter sections.
Users can then highlight a section and move to it in the text.
In a redesign of this CD-ROM, I would suggest eliminating the three choices from the feature presentation for each chapter in favor of an automatic advance to the third choice, the chapter contents. This screen offers many choices and should really serve as the home screen for each chapter. The multimedia overview is the introductory feature presentation for each chapter, already described above. The quiz is the same quiz described above. The essay questions index contains four essay questions for each chapter.
