The Formulas question type looks very promising, but I have to check with our admins to add the plugin.
As of now, I cant import your XML example.

The part with the LSB and MSB can be removed, because the students don't have to fill out the truth table form the inputs.

Thanks a lot for the great response,
Michael

Hello Michael,

Here are some clarifications.

  • With the Cloze question, you can use negative scores with all question behaviours except "Interactive with multiple tries".
  • When using negative scores, the total score can be negative, except when the question behaviour is set to "Adaptive mode" with which the total score cannot be less than zero.
  • So just change your question behaviour to "Adaptive mode" and the case is settled. Note, however, that the question behaviour is set in the quiz settings and therefore this setting affects all questions in the quiz.

The Close question has the advantage that it accepts a string as an answer, that it indicates for each sub-question if the question is correct or not, with ✔ or ✘, as well as the correct answer in a tooltip.

In the case at hand, the Cloze question may be more practical than the Formulas question. The functionality of answers accepting character strings and showing, for each sub-question, whether the student answer is correct or not and the correct answer are not yet implemented in the Formulas question. However, until they are, these features can easily be added with JavaScript workarounds as shown at: https://moodleformulas.org/course/view.php?id=104&section=9 ↗.
