In one module we had an online test and I scored 11/12. Not too shabby, except nowhere was I told which one was deemed to be wrong. With that sort of approach only two states give a definitive answer 0% and 100%. At least with those you know you got no questions right, or every question right. One of our lecturers had it right - he gave us online tests as well, but not only did he tell us which we had wrong, he also gave the correct answers. Being told which is wrong is only half the battle... knowing how to correct it is the other half.
