Answers

  1. You already have 4 choices available, but you do not have to use all of them and you can always add more if you need them.
  2. For each choice, you will type in the answer option:

    • Then, choose how much that option is worth in the grade drop-down menu.

      • One answer = 100%
      • Two answers = 50%
      • Three answers = 33.33%
    • Then you have the option to supply feedback based on each answer.

 

Combined Feedback

You can provide feedback based on general conditions such as any correct response, partially correct response, and incorrect response.

 

Multiple Tries

  1. When you set a quiz up with “Interactive with multiple tries” or “adaptive mode” then this section will allow you to customize how much of a percentage will be taken off for each incorrect try.
  2. You can also provide students with hints to help them choose the correct answer. You can also let them see the number of correct responses and/or clear away the incorrect responses.
