They call them "quick" online quizzes. But do not be sucked in by the word "quick", because 9 times out of ten (90%, 0.9, 9/10, whichever way you want to display it statistically), they take more than a few minutes.
This latest one took me a while because our 'kind' lecturer, decided that though most of the questions were multiple-choice they would all require copious amounts of reading and statistical equations to answer. It really wasn't appreciated, but I did come out with full marks, after lots of reading, typing buttons, clicking the mouse and looking at my notes for inspiration. Whoever said statistics is dull is.... it is up for debate as to the dull status. I sit towards the dull side, but there is just enough useful and random stuff within statistics to make it kind of interesting.
Do not be fooled people, quizzes do take more time than what is suggested. It is the lecturers way of making sure that we were actually paying attention in class, which isn't very often if they are one of those monotone speakers who is very robotic and unemotional.
