This page allows to add a challenge in the
QUESTOURnament using the following fields to specify its
characteristics:
- Title: name of the challenge, it should not
include the name of the author of the challenge in order to keep the
anonymity of its authorship, otherwise, the challenge could be
refused of modified by the teacher.
- Description: it is the body of the
challenge, where the problem and the items to be included in the
answer are presented. It must be clear and complete.
- Maximum Score: it is the maximum score that
the challenge will be able to reach, it is limited by the Highest
Score of the QUESTOURnament to which the challenge belongs.
- Initial Score: it is the score of the
challenge when it is opened and that will vary during the development
of the contest.
- Starting Date: it sets the date in which the
challenge is opened, this parameter can only be set by the teacher.
When the challenge is added by a student, the starting date is the
time when the challenge is added.
- Closing Date: it sets the date in which the
challenge is closed, after this date it will not be able to submit
answers, although the author of the challenge or the teacher will
still be able to assess the answers submitted during the lifetime of
the challenge. It can not be subsequent to the Closing Date set
for the QUESTOURnament.
- Attachments: this will allow to specify the
attachments if this possibility was set when the QUESTOURnament was
defined.
The system will check that the title and/or description fields
are not left empty, in which case an error message will be displayed
and the challenge will not be added. The system will also check if the
dates are coherent, and in the case that the closing date of the
challenge is subsequent to the closing date of the QUESTOURnament to
which it belongs, this date will be taken as the closing date for the
challenge.
For any challenge, if the initial score chosen is higher than
the maximum score set, the maximum score will be also taken as initial
score.
