Feedback vs Direction

You can put in feedback for correct/incorrect answers and you can have the answer in one section dictate which section you went to next. Unfortunately, you can not combine the two. Feedback is only visible once the entire quiz is done. For a choose your own adventure guided inquiry, forms is fine. This self-assessment quiz relies on students choosing a correct answer to continue.
