Assessing student understanding of coding concepts is an important part of coding instruction. CodeMonkey quizzes are available to provide teachers with insight into how well their students are learning and retaining the skills being taught.
There are multiple quizzes available for CodeMonkey Jr., Beaver Achiever, Coding Adventure, and Banana Tales courses.
Quizzes are separated by the concepts taught within each course.
Each quiz has 4-5 "Quiz Challenges" that are different than the challenges within the course.
Students can attempt the quiz challenges multiple times to receive up to 3 stars. Teachers can see how many attempts students took to receive 3 stars by going to Quizzes>Quiz Results> Selecting the Quiz assigned>Clicking on the star within the challenge.
