Quiz: Do You Know Your Knots?

Do You Know Your Knots?

I'm sorry. This page requires that your browser be capable of running JavaScript in order to use the self-correcting feature of the quiz. In most browsers you can activate JavaScript using a dialog box somewhere under one of the menu bar options. If you are really using a (rare) non-JavaScript-capable browser, you will have to do without the self-grading features of this page.

Instructions:
Identify the knots from a scrolldown multiple choice answer window, guessing if necessary; then click on the "Process Questions" button at the end of the quiz to see your score in the adjacent message box. The program will not reveal which questions you got wrong, only how many points you have. Go back and change your answers until you get them all right. (The message box will rejoice at that point and the page will change color in delight.)

Points to note:
(1) The program will not attempt to score your efforts at all if you have not tried at least half of the questions.
(4) This quiz is for your own use only. No record of your progress is kept or reported to anyone.

I want to thank David K Jordan for this consummately cool, pedagogically compelling, self-correcting, multiple-choice quiz which was produced from a simple text file of questions using his dubiously original, but publicly accessible Think Again Quiz Maker and then adapted to my liking.
