INSTRUCTIONS:

When you start the quiz you will be shown a picture of a randomly selected flower, and you will be asked to type in the family name for that flower (spelled properly and capitalized, of course!). When you finish typing in the name, you can either hit "RETURN" or click on the button labeled "Submit Answer." If your answer is correct, you can acknowledge your success by responding "OK" to the Java prompt (just hit RETURN) and you will be given a new flower image. If your answer is incorrect, you will be given a chance to try again with a new answer (after responding "OK" to the Java prompt, just start typing or use the button labeled "Clear Form"). If you give up, you can always ask for the answer by clicking the button "I give up". You will still have to type in the correct answer, however, to proceed directly to a new flower image.

HELP: To help you if you get stuck, there are some reference materials about family diagnostic characteristics to the left. The families covered in this quiz are all listed there, and each family name is directly linked to a page providing more information (these are similar to the handouts received in lab each week). Clicking on any of the family names will open a new window so you can look at the picture and the descriptions simultaneously.

TO BEGIN: Select a quiz from the list to the right.
