Add images to questions

Add images to questions in Google Forms — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Add the labeled diagram JPEG of the Krebs cycle to question 4 in Dr. Patel’s sophomore bio test so students can mark the correct enzyme location; place the image inline with the question text and confirm it displays on phones before I assign it tonight.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Uploaded the diagram and some students say it’s cropped on their phones

I added a labeled Krebs cycle image to question 4 and several students report the labels are cut off on mobile. I can’t reupload multiple sizes now. Which likely causes cropping in this form layout, and what immediate tweak will make the image readable for phones without redoing all images?

Become — change the pattern

I spend time resizing images last minute

Every assessment day I end up resizing and re-uploading images because they either crop or reveal answers. Where am I wasting time and what routine should I adopt so images reliably fit questions and don’t leak cues to students?

Other forms and surveys work people do in Google Forms.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
