Algebra Question Type - preventing students simply typing in the question

Hi Moodleverse,

I'm using the evaluation comparison algorithm on the Algebra Question type and wondering how I prevent students simply copying in the question and it being marked correct?

For a simple question such as: Simplify 3x+2x+y

I've added  3x+2x+y to the Disallowed Answer option but it seems to still accept it. Am I missing a setting or misunderstanding how the question works?

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Hello Andrew,

I cannot answer you on the Algebra question type, because I do not know it very well.

On the other hand, if you are involved in teaching math, even at the basic level, perhaps you should get the best tool, which is most likely the STACK question type. The documentation is excellent, the question is well supported and is used all over the world.
