Create	2	2%	3%	−1% ✓

Total deviation: 18% → Bloom's Score: 20/25

Note: Understand level is slightly elevated (+8%) reflecting the pedagogical goal of building strong conceptual understanding across this science-heavy content. Apply and Create levels could be expanded in a future revision.

Answer Quality Analysis¶

Examples included: 22 of 91 questions (24%) — Target: 40%+
Source links: 91 of 91 (100%) — Target: 60%+ ✓
Anchor links used: 0 — hard requirement met ✓
Average answer length: ~64 words — Target: 100–300 words ✓ (note: answers are concise summaries optimized for chatbot RAG integration; FAQ document answers are substantially longer)
Complete answers: 91/91 (100%) ✓

Answer Quality Score: 22/25

Recommendations¶

High Priority¶

Add examples to at least 15 more answers in the chatbot JSON to reach 40% target
Add questions for the 10 high-priority uncovered concepts (ABO blood typing, warrant requirements, secretor status, etc.)
Add 3–4 more Apply-level questions to bring that level closer to 25% target

Medium Priority¶

Expand Module 5 coverage (fire/arson and anthropology have good chapter coverage but fewer FAQ questions per concept)
Add questions on bloodstain pattern subtypes (cast-off, arterial spurting) — high educational value
Create a "Laboratory Techniques" sub-section or cross-reference table

Low Priority¶

Add 2–3 Create-level questions where students design protocols or investigations
Consider adding a "Quick Reference" appendix linking the FAQ to the glossary for each technical term
Update FAQ after new MicroSims are added to the textbook
