TestDen Review

[Torsten]

Hi Roman,

This is just to recap a few points we discussed today:
- we need to create a template for our authors that shows them how a test should be formatted
- the template should contain all text types that can be used in the reading sections (parts 5 through 7)
- some of the more complex formatting of our current reading passages can be inserted as image files

Also, please review the printout I've put on your desk for more details.

Have a great weekend,
Torsten

Hello Torsten,
many thanks for the printout, I'll take a look at it on monday.
Good news!: today we finished the complete database with the 200 questions from our first test. On next week we will work on a script to display the test on our website, it should be avaible very soon.
A great weekend to all of you!

Hello Roman,

How did you get along with the project today? I take it you worked on the HTML pages that are going to show the test questions and the results? Many thanks, Torsten

Good evening,

today I started working on the design and the layout. I tested some different alignment and did some research on the tests you sent me by email.

[Torsten]

Hello Roman, thanks a lot for your great work. Please make your reports a bit more specific and detailed. Here is an example of a more detailed report:
- 1 hour: designing individual layouts for every part (photo plus answer option, play button plus answer option, questions plus answer options, etc.)
- 1,5 hours: working on the script that extracts the test questions from the item bank and displays them in the HTML pages
- 1 hour: improving the style sheets, finalizing the text formatting
- 0,2 hour: analyzing user stats, deciding on a resolution and alignment
etc.

TOEIC short conversations: Rescheduling a presentation because of a heavy workload

[Roman Brytva]

Hello Torsten,
I'll give it a try :). Today I finished the design (~2-3h), so now my work is to write a script for the complete test. That was, what I worked the last hours on and that will be the challange for the next day(s).
I also maked some new photos today which I will upload tomorrow morning.

[Torsten]

Good morning Roman. Please show the code you have written so far to Slava so he can assess it and make suggestions as to how it can be improved. Many thanks, Torsten

TOEIC short conversations: Clarifying information on an invoice

[Roman Brytva]

Hello Torsten,
Slava already told me to do that, I'm very curious what opinion he will have about the source code.
After today it's now possible to show up the test, to navigate between the questions and to choose one of the options. Tomorrow I will work on the saving the chosen results, that the users will mark in the test (for the analysis and the score after the test is finished).
I currently see, I wrote that I will post some photos today and I'm very sorry I forgot about this. The photos are on the notebook in the company, so tomorrow they will appear here.
Have a nice evening and see you tomorrow.

Hello Roman, we look forward to seeing the first version of the engine online tomorrow. Many thanks, Torsten
