Frequently Asked Questions / Test Feedback
Q: Can we retake the quizes? Some folks have had problems with submitting the quiz page before they were through and some may need to repeat to bring the scores up.
A: The quizes are now set up so that a student can take each one up to 5 times. You will be credited with the HIGHEST score that you achieve and I will disregard the lower scores. Remember, you only need 75% to pass, so don't feel compelled to repeat until you get 100%! You have plenty of other demands on your time.
Q: Can we see our scores for the quizes?
A: I have set the VIEW status for all the quizes to ON so that you should be able to see your scores. All this information (and much more!) is available for you online at: http://eval.medinfo.ufl.edu/cgi/evalfolio.cgi
Q: What about the quiz status page?
A: It has been updated through the Head and Neck quiz and can be found at: http://medinfo.ufl.edu/year1/rad6190/quiz_test_status.shtml
Q: What do you mean in the syllabus about the 'honor system' for the quizzes. Can we refer to books or other resources while we take them?
A: You are welcome to use any resources you would like to while completing the quizzes. This includes the Radiologic Anatomy Program. Just do them by yourself, though you can compare notes with each other afterward. What you are on your honor to NOT do is to collaborate with other students in a systematic way. For example, do NOT print out the web page, mark the answers, and distribute to the whole class. Also, no fair paying a senior med student to take all the quizzes for you....maybe a couple of you are independently wealthy or something.
Q: How can I tell the difference between an MRI image and a CT scan image?
A: Most imgages will have at least one bone included. Look at the CORTICAL bone which is the thick 'shell' of bone that makes up the outer surface of the bone. If the cortical bone is WHITE, you are looking at a CT scan. If the cortical bone is BLACK, you are looking at an MRI scan.
Example of CT scan (transverse pelvis)

Another MRI example (sagittal knee)
