Module 6: GMCQ Extra Credit Project

General Information

For each of the modules, you have the option of creating UP TO TWO multiple-choice questions, worth 2 points each, that are due each module. There is no going back to previous modules to earn points. The questions need to be written in the same format as the questions on your module quizzes. They must also be novel and based on any of the material in the current module.

Each multiple-choice question MUST INCLUDE ALL of the following to receive credit:

1. a complete question with four response options, with one correct option and three distractor options.
2. The correct option must be marked with an asterisk.
3. For the correct answer, you must indicate where in the course materials the answer can be confirmed as correct (e.g., “page XX in Bermudez textbook,” “on page XX of the Mind Hacks article,” at the X:XX time stamp in the Skinner video.”).

WARNING: It is very tempting to simply copy/paste content from the learning materials as your multiple choice question. If you do so, it will be considered plagiarism and you will receive zero points for this assignment.

Formatting Your Submission

Prepare your submission as a single page in a Microsoft Word or Google Docs and save in .doc, .docx, .txt, or .pdf format. Each question (you can write up to two) should look similar to the following to receive credit:

Question 1 (of 2)

1. If you can use your mental imagery to imagine what an object would look like from a different angle, you are using your:

*a. spatial intelligence

b. logical-mathematical intelligence

c. bodily-kinesthetic intelligence

d. linguistic intelligence

The correct answer can be found in the first paragraph of page 49 of the “Cognitive Science Interdisciplinary Approach” reading

For the above, please note how the question is clearly stated with four response options. The correct answer is clearly marked with an asterisk. There is also an explicit statement of where the answer can be found within the course material. If you’re missing any of these components, or your formatting is ambiguous, you’ll lose points.

FAQ for this Assignment

1. What happens if I have an eBook copy of the textbook that does not have page numbers?

If there are no page numbers, reference the subheading or heading number that the content you want to reference falls under. There is no need to reference the paragraph number – that level of detail isn’t necessary. You could say something like:

“The correct answer can be found in Chapter 1.1 in the subsection ‘Learning without reinforcement'”
