Think Pieces
Thinking outside the box (Quiz questions)
Maybe they want (Staff) to show that it is important sometimes to 'think outside the box'? Ever heart of that? If not please kindly find here some ideas about it:

Teaching also means to be alone in a classroom with maybe 5 or 50 students at a time and it really needs a lot to stand there and to have knowledge to share and to provide and to make students understand it. I think it is only fair to show us that it is not always about learning something by heart and write it down or mark the right answer. It is also important to look over the border and to identify yourself with new knowledge and to find the right response of questions by yourself. (In classes there won't be often anybody helping as well.)
You are there and only you are the one who has the 'power' and the knowledge and all depends on your way of teaching so that a lot of students understand and can adopt this knowledge outside the classroom in their life.
I think it is not to a lot to ask for a little bit of own initiative to show your eagerness and willingness to come to the right answers by searching for them within the lectures but also beyond sometimes :-) and its fun too, to learn even more.
As Sandra mentioned the computer will give you the right and wrongs at your first attempt and then you can search only for the wrong ones and answer them hopefully correctly at your second attempt.
Good Luck.
