Multiple Choice questions with more than one correct answer

2. Weight the answers according to the correctness of each possible answer.

Note: Multiple Choice questions allow students to choose only one answer from the options. If you would like students to be able to select more than one option, you will need to create a Multi-Select question. 

Multi-Select (M-S) questions require respondents to identify one or more correct answers in a list of possible answers.

1. In the Question Library, select the New button, click Multi-Select Question (M-S).
2. In the General area, enter your multi-select question details.
3. In the Options area, do the following:.

• Select your grading method. There are three possible grading options for multi-select questions:
  • All or nothing â€“ Students receive full points for the question if they select all of the correct answers and none of the incorrect answers. Students receive zero points if they miss any correct answers or select any incorrect answers.
  • Right minus wrong - Students receive points equal to the number of right answers they choose minus the number of incorrect answers they choose. To determine how much each answer is worth, the system takes the total number of points assigned to the question and divides it by the total number of answer choices. For example, if a question is worth 10 points and has 5 answer choices, each correct answer is worth 2 points, and each incorrect answer is worth - 2 points (10/5 = 2). If a student gives 3 correct answers and 2 incorrect answers, 2 is the total number of points received for the question [(3*2)+(2*-2)]. Students can receive a minimum of zero on a question; they cannot receive a negative mark.
  • Correct answers - Students receive points for each correct answer they select and for each incorrect answer they leave blank. Incorrect answers selected and correct answers left blank are ignored. For example, if a question with a total of six potential answers has two correct answers, the total points available for the question is 4.
     
• If you would like the question options be randomized per student, check the Randomize Options checkbox
• Enter a choice in each Value field. Select the Correct check box for every right answer.

Written Response (WR) questions require respondents to write detailed answers in response to open-ended questions. You can enable students to respond in multiple sentences, paragraph answers, or mathematical explanations and calculations. Students can also respond in HTML code.

It is useful to create text information if you have several questions that need to reference the same passage and you want to avoid repeatedly writing the same text for each question.

2. In the General area, enter your text information details.
3. To verify your question, click Preview.

1. In the Question Library, from the New button, click Image Information (IMG).
2. In the General area, enter your image information details.
