What is the multiple response question in DigiExam?
The multiple response question allows numerous answer alternatives. This should be used when a question has one or more answers that are correct.
When using score based grading, multiple response questions are automatically graded.
When using a grading rubric, the multiple response questions are not automatically graded.
Grading options
There are two grading options for multiple response questions: "All or nothing" and "Right minus wrong".
All or Nothing
The student must check all correct alternatives to get the max points. If the student misses any of the correct alternatives, or checks any of the incorrect ones, the student is awarded zero points.
In figure 1 below there is an example of a multiple response question in the edit view of an exam with the grading option "All or nothing" activated.
Figure 1
The examples below are based on the question in figure 1.
Example 1: Student 1 selects Physics and Chemistry and awarded 2 points
Example 2: Student 2 selects Physics and Literature and awarded 0 points
Example 3: Student 3 selects Literature and Medicine and awarded 0 points
Example 4: Student 4 selects Physics and awarded 0 points
Right Minus Wrong
The student gets plus points for each correct alternative and a minus score for each incorrect alternative. Each alternative is worth the maximum score for the question divided by the number of correct alternatives. The lowest score awarded is zero, so it is not possible to receive minus points (for example -1) for a question.
Figure 2 below shows an example of a multiple response question that is added to the edit view for an exam with the grading option "Right minus wrong".
Figure 2
The examples below are based on the question in Figure 2.
Example 1: Student 1 selects Canberra, New Delhi and Copenhagen and is awarded 3 points
Example 2: Student 2 selects Canberra and is awarded 1 point
Example 3: Student 3 selects Canberra and New Delhi and is awarded 2 points
Example 4: Student 4 selects Canberra, New Delhi and Gothenburg and is awarded 1 point
Example 5: Student 5 selects all options and is awarded 0 points
Example 6: Student 6 selects no options and is awarded 0 points
Example 7: Student 7 selects Mumbai, Sydney and Gothenburg and is awarded 0 points
Multiple response question from a student's perspective
The student will see the same multiple response question structure whether the grading type is "All or nothing" or "Right minus error". See examples of multiple response questions when the student answers them in Figures 3 and 4 below.
