How do marking rules work?

  • What are marking rules?
    Marking rules determine how points are awarded for questions in a question based exam. They decide how strict the marking should be for auto-marked questions and can serve as marking criteria for non-auto-marked questions. 

    How do I add marking rules?
    Marking rules are added when you create a question. It is also possible to correct them after the exam has been conducted in the exam's results view during marking.

    Once you have created your questions, you can preview them and see how the marking works by clicking on Preview on the left.
