Multiple choice - Custom rules

  • UPDATE IN PROGRESS

    By selecting Custom rules, you can customize the auto-marking. For example, you can decide to allow a certain number of wrong answers. Let's look at some examples.

    1. Award points for each correct answer and allow a certain number of incorrect answers
    Students get points for each correct answer, and they can even select a few wrong ones without point deductions.

    If you, as in the example above, have three correct answer options, you have to add three marking rules. For each marking rule, you have to click the Add rule button and select how many incorrect answers that should be allowed without point deductions.

    2. Award points for a partly correct answer
    If the student should be awarded with points for a partly correct answer, for example if the student has chosen two out of three correct answer options, you can add the following marking rules.

    Click Add rule for each rule you want to add. The Correct answer rule is set up in the following way.

    The result is the following:

    3. Award points for each correct answer and extra points for a completely correct answer
    Here, the student is awarded with one point per correct answer. A completely accurate response grants five points. Incorrect answers result in a one-point deduction:

    In this case, the student is awarded with two points:

    4. Award points only if a certain number of answers are correct
    To earn points in this example with five correct answers, students must choose at least three of them to get any points. A point deduction is applied for each incorrect response.

    5. Award points per correct answer and not deduct points for incorrect answers
    In this example, the student is awarded one point for each correct answer. No points are deducted for incorrect answers. This requires adding a marking rule for each correct answer option using the following model.

    Good to know
    The lowest possible total score for a question is zero - minus points cannot be given.
