Some of the quiz questions need revision, especially the one about which of the following weather events is not a reportable event, then each of the answer selections were items that appeared on the huge list in the body of the lesson; there isn't a selection that is not among the reportable weather events (hail, thunderstorm, flood, lightening, snowfall amount, tornado). My husband selected lightening and it was scored as incorrect; I tried leaving it blank since we know that they're all reportable events, but I received an error warning when trying to submit my answers re: having left a question unanswered, so I went back to this question and answered it "thunderstorm", which was also incorrect....There are other questions/answer selections similarly needing correction.

The quiz targeted several good focal points but not a complete quiz for skywarn spotters as to majority of quiz was over primarily one objective which is to report, however I feel in order to report as a skywarn spotter its imperative that additional material in regards to visual focus on hazardous weather events/severe weather, guidelines on what to report and why, no additional scenarios needed that section is adequate unless you improve it as an actual video of a skywarn and or chaser near the area of present hazard with an indication of commentary as to things to do which could easily be obtained by request of individual uploaders contact information on YouTube there are thousands of videos that are severe weather related and could possibly be used as informational and educational purposes. Read uploaders information below any video, usually the uploader has own website in which the uploader could be contacted directly.
