The title field for a quiz node is currently not being used unless you are viewing the actual node. While taking a quiz, the title field of a question node is somewhat problematic and could result in inconsistent display. Personally, I had a hard time coming up with question titles that made sense. Especially in a multi-class environment, question titles could be confusing when used across different quizzes.

To a certain extent the title field has become a meta tag, allowing question authors to organize their own questions. Is this OK?

At the very least, we should address this issue by adding a help description to the title field, letting question authors know how it will be used.

Title: Quiz title field acts in a different way from most drupal title fields » Question title field acts in a different way from most drupal title fields

I meant to say Question titles, not quizzes. I think a simple help text would do. Something along the lines of:

Add a title that will help distinguish this quesiton from other questions. This will not be seen during the quiz.
