Hi all,
I have an instructor requesting the following with a multiple choice question:
- the students can select multiple answers
- the students are not penalized for any incorrect answers
- the students can only select a certain number of answers
So far the best way we can set this up (version 2.6.6) is to instruct students to only select a certain number of answers, have a penalty for each incorrect answer, and inform the students that they should only select 5 maximum and that they will be penalized for anything incorrect. The drawback to this is that a student who selects 5 answers and only 2 of the 5 are correct answers will receive zero (there are 10 possibles with 5 correct and 5 incorrect).
The instructor would prefer that the students receive credit for every correct answer (so if they choose 5 answers and only get 2 out of 5 correct , they would receive 2/5 of the total grade for the question.)
Does anyone know of a question type that does this? Or a better workaround solution?
Cheers,
Dave
