Quiz

I have been trying to find some information on using points rather than +/- percentages on multiple choice questions that have multiple correct answers that should be selected. I haven't found any code settings that allow that or any recent forum posts that address the issue (I'm using Moodle 2.0x so I'm told). I found something similar way back in 2006 for Moodle 1.6, but it wasn't possible then. Here is an example of what I mean (not a real question, just a simple one to make the point): Mark the meteorological seasons (select all that apply): a. fall b. football c. summer d. winter e. spring I want the question to be worth 5 points if the learner correctly marks a, c, d, e and leaves b blank. In other words, I want the learner to be rewarded for correct selections, but not rewarded (as opposed to penalized) for incorrect selections. The best I can seem to do in Moodle is score a, c, d, e at 25% each (to add up to 100%) while b is negative 20%. But this only returns the desired score if the learner selects/nonselects correctly (100%; 5 pts) or if the learner selects all 5 options (100% - 20% = 80%; 4 pts). However, other combinations penalize the learner, which I want to avoid. (I'm dealing with adult learners, and such a practice is not good andragogy in my opinion.) For example, if a learner selects a, b, d, e and leaves c unselected, the score by my method would be 3/5 (= 60%), but Moodle would return 55% (3 x 25% - 20%). This is not just a matter of scoring the test. We need to analyze learner response to each question, so if for whatever reason a pattern develops revealing learners are selecting the wrong answer or not selecting a particular correct answer, we can address the issue in our content.
