Guidelines for setting Qs
1. Players are asked to provide three Qs on each of the 16 categories, ie 48 Qs in total, by Dec 14. All three Qs for each category should be different, eg. on Sport, players should provide one Q each on, say, Boxing, Cricket and Football, rather than all three on the same sport. 2. Avoid the following: (i) Fff Qs, which are a test of typing speed/connection rather than knowledge. Qs should be testing and not too easy. (ii) Vague Qs such as, 'Where was X born?'. Replace with 'In which city....?' or 'In which country...?'. (iii) Qs with fewer choices than a multi, eg. 'In which province of Ireland.....?'. Obviously only four choices. 3. Use (or omit) clues to make Qs easier/more difficult. Eg. a Literature Q: Q. Which author created the character Roderick Alleyn? (Difficult) ...becomes... Q. Which New Zealand author created the quintessentially English detective, Roderick Alleyn, who featured in 32 of her novels? (Easier) Three extra clues in that one, so even if players have never heard of Roderick Alleyn, they might know that Ngaio Marsh is a female Kiwi author who writes detective novels. 4. Qs should be labelled Q1, Q3 and Q5, with Q3 being multiple choice (6 options, A-F). Here's an example of what the Qs for the History category should look like (note the different eras and countries referred to): HISTORY Q1. Which historical figure did Fanya Kaplan try to assassinate in Aug 1918? Answer: (Vladimir Ilyich) Lenin Q3. Which French duchy was created in 911 by the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte and granted to the Viking leader Rollo? (a) Aquitaine (b) Bourgogne (c) Bourbon (d) Normandy (e) Orleans (f) Valois Answer: (d) The Duchy of Normandy Q5. The military power of which religious order was broken by its defeat to a Polish-Lithuanian army at the Battle of Grunwald of 1410? Answer: The Teutonic Knights 5. Qs should be original, not copied from websites (unreliable) or books (soon out of date). Using these sources we also see the same old Qs cropping up repeatedly in quizzes. Wikipedia is obviously a useful source of Qs but info from it should be checked using other websites. 6. Please check your Qs before submitting them and pay attention to spelling and punctuation. Hope that's useful. |

Should add that we'll say later about who the Qs should be posted to.

Nirv - good post. I haven't read the whole thread, however - are the 16 categories lurking around here?
|
|
By:
Should question setters put a reference beside each question?
|
|
By:
Would it help to provide a source for, or explanation of, answers?
|
|
By:
Categories are on the first page, Alex.
|
|
By:
Yes, a source/ref for each Q is a good idea. Just c+p the link and put it in brackets after the Q. Will make the double checking for us much easier.

Just to be sure im heading in the right direction with the questions, is it not dependant on which league your setting for!?
I mean if your setting for Prem surely they should be harder than those you would set for cola? and as i said on first page but nobodys mentioned, why are we all setting 3 from each category when some categories will be used alot more than others (sport maybe used loads yet, history may not etc...) so wouldnt we need alot more sport questions compared with History? |
|
By:
Nirvana - can we have picture based questions - e.g. 'Flags' ?
|
|
By:
I second that... motion passed
:D |
|
By:
BJK, this only the first batch of Qs, so the second batch can be based on what we need most of. Any surplus Home Qs from this first batch (ie. for categories that are not very popular with players) can be used as GK, so doing 3 Qs for each category isn't a problem.
The home Qs should be of a similar level for all three divisions of the league (ie. difficult), so that isn't a problem either. I would recommend players not start writing Qs until they are familiar with all the details. Remember the deadline is not until Dec 14, so there is enough time. |

Good night and good luck. |
