Key Terms Matcher
HOW TO USE:
1. Install the Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy chrome addon. You can use this addon to copy text from sites that don't want you to, such as Quia.
2. Download and run the tool or wait until the web based version is ready. READ DISCLAIMER BELOW IF USING WEB VERSION
3. In the leftmost box, paste the left column from Quia (the words next to where you input the letter). It is fine if you also select the dropdown boxes, I've designed the tool to work anyway. If you don't want the answers to come out in the right order, you can ignore this step.
4. In the 2nd box from the left, copy and paste the column that says which definition goes with which letter, should look something like "a. This is the definition for some term".
5. In the 3rd box from the left, copy and paste the entire table that contains the terms and definitions from the google doc your teacher probably posted on canvas.
6. Click the "Generate answers" button at the bottom. The solution will appear in the rightmost box.
7. If a popup window appeared, it means that the program could not match certain terms. This is probably due to a typo from Quia or the google doc. See step 9 if there are a lot of terms in this box.
8. The rightmost box will have the matches that you should be able to transfer over to the Quia assignment.
9. If it could not find many solutions, hover over each box you pasted into. It will tell you the exact format that must be followed. Ensure the format is followed, and it should solve the problem.
DISCLAIMER
If you're using the web based version, your clipboard won't update automatically. To get it to update, you must paste by clicking on the 3 dots in the top right, then click paste from there. It will not paste, but if you try to paste again normally it will work.
Obviously don't use this tool for school assignments, these steps are what I would follow if I wanted to use it to solve a real world problem. I do not condone the use of this tool for school assignments.
