Moodle ver 2.5.x
I have people asking me why they always get this:
I don't have an answer, not being a big fan of the quiz module I have never really worried about it. But that has to change, so what is a wild card in this context? How to I get rid of the wild card?
BTW, the question is a simple one for junior primary students, "How many eggs in a dozen cartons of eggs?" (We only have a dozen eggs in 1 carton, so 12 eggs in 12 cartons, has only one answer. 144.)
You don't say which question type you are using Colin, but I am guessing it is the entertainingly named Simple Calculated question. If you have only one answer then you might be better off using the Numerical question type.
Thanks Marcus, ahh so the response is dictated by the question type. The next question would be, what is the necessity for having a wildcard in the answer/response?
First observation of the quiz module: documentation is written by experts.
So I look at Numeric Question type and learn:
"Allows a numerical response, possibly with units, that is graded by comparing against various model answers possibly with tolerances."
Yep... written by experts.
I think the presence of a Calculated and a Calculated Simple question is quite telling. When I execute my Coup d'tat and assume supreme control of all things Moodle the Calculated and Calculated Simple questions will be hidden/disabled by default and and there will be a new Sums question designed for very busy and distracted people. It will be entirely Ajaxified and developed with Agile Boilerstrap and Node.js.
