Hi,
I'm trying to write a lesson and on one of my pages, I'm using the 'short answer' question. The response needs to be 'n + 1' but when I try the lesson and write that in, it says I am wrong. When I do this in a quiz, it will accept the + sign but it doesn't seem to here. Any ideas please? I actually have tried doing a quiz instead but the way I want to teach this means I want to use the lesson!
Thanks
Val
I just tried this in moodle 1.5 and it worked fine.
Couple of ideas for why it might be telling you that your wrong:
'n+1' is different from 'n + 1' as far as short answer is concerned.
Also, with custom grading off, correct answers must jump to a page further down in the lesson. With custom grading on, correct answers must have a score greater than 0.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Many thanks - we have just upgraded to 1.5 and yes - it seems to work now. I appreciate the difference between the two answers - I had allowed for both but previously neither had been accepted. It looks like 1.5 has sorted it for me.
Thanks again

Hi Mark,
I was working with this earlier, I couldn't get a correct answer to register if the custom grade was less than 1 e.g. 0.2.

The database only holds integers (whole numbers) for the scores right now. I think that your 0.2 is being stored as a 0 and that is why it's being graded as incorrect. This should be changed in the future.

Thanks Mark. Should this be logged as a bug / feature request?
As far as I'm concerned whole numbers are fine for this - I asked the question really to clarify my understanding.

Perhaps as a feature request. Technically, whole numbers are all that anyone needs because you can set the maxgrade for the lesson to whatever you like. But, some users may want the flexibility.
