When creating a Multiple-Question assignment, all questions will default to multiple choice questions but can be edited. This article will cover how:
- Questions can be customized to match your key, adjusting the character options, point value, and available answers.
- Questions can be modified to work with different question types.
- Multiple choice questions can be set up to auto-grade, meaning once the response has been submitted by a student it will be automatically graded for the assignment based on the key.
Adding the Answer Key
By default, questions are multiple-choice with answer options ABCDE. If this format matches your key, select the correct answer for each question. If not, continue to the next section.
