Word gap question
Word gap questions are graded automatically. This means that if an exam consists of word gap questions only, it will be moved to Graded right after it is ended.
The student can be graded as follows:
- Exact match: Student's response must be an exact match to the correct answer.
- Contains: Student's response must contain the correct answer.
- Case sensitive: Differentiate between capital and lower-case letters.
Grading options:
- All or nothing: The student must answer everything correctly to get max points. If the student miss to answer anything or answer something incorrectly, the student is awarded zero points
- Right minus wrong: The student gets plus points for every correct answer and minus point for each incorrect answer.
- Points per response: The student get plus points for each correct answer.
Final result
- You can leave a final comment for the student in the box labelled Teacher’s final feedback to the student (figure 8).
