Add feedback for wrong answers

Add feedback for wrong answers

In a short answer question, when the student answers something that is not the correct answer they get a generic feedback message: "That's the wrong answer".

Is it possible to add a custom message per question to give some feedback to students?

Or maybe is it possible to configure one answer as a catch-all and show its response text as feedback for wrong answer?

For instance, in a beginners English lesson a question can be: "What do you do?" with the correct answer "I am a student" or "I'm a student". But if the student answers something else the feedback message can be "You need to use the verb be and the appropriate personal pronoun."

That way we can show them a more helpful feedback message.

Regards.

I think I didn't look carefully at the documentation, the answer is right there (https://docs.moodle.org/35/en/Short-Answer_question_type#Feedback_for_wrong_answers)

However, I believe that "Feedback for wrong answers" only works when the question does not use regular expressions.

For instance:

Use regular expressions [check]

Answer 1

  answer: I(\'m| am) a student.?

  Response: Well done!

  Score: 1


Answer 2

  answer: *

  Response: wrong, try again.

  Score: 0

does NOT work as intended.


Any comments on this one?
