Reasonable list, and I guess as a supplier of Quiz technology it makes sense, however, it almost pre-supposes that quizzes ARE the right way to go. More and more of the clients I speak to are moving away from quizzes towards a more work-based and formalised way of assessing learning, not just testing short-term memory.
I agree not covering content not covered in the course, however, if your questioning is about how they would USE their knowledge, then they questions are going to be about how they would USE the knowledge in the workplace, so will need them to do some applied thinking, which will not be immediately obvious and linked to what they have "seen" in the course.
I think the biggest "Do" is to have a very detailed and business-focused analysis about whether a quiz is, in fact, the best thing to do at all, but I do completely appreciate the business direction that you are coming from :)
