Speaking of calculating evaluation grades...

The maximum question score in an evaluation will always be 1.0 point. To achieve that score, all the student’s answers to the question must be correct (100%).

...

In certain types of questions, you can define different scores for the alternatives. This score, together with the number of alternatives added to the question, defines the percentage of each one in relation to the maximum score (1.0).

Objective/ drop-down list question

The weight of the question is defined by the rule of three that considers the highest alternative points as 100% and the weight of the alternative chosen by the user in relation to this score.

...

If you want to assign points to more than one alternative and allow the student to choose multiple answers, it is recommended to use Multiple Choice questions.

Multiple choice question

The sum of the points from the alternatives chosen by the student in relation to the total question score defines the score obtained in Multiple Choice questions.

...

• A question has 5 alternatives and the option “Evaluate as a whole” is not checked.
• Two alternatives are correct, the other three are wrong.
• The correct alternatives are worth 5 points, while the wrong ones are worth zero, i.e. (5 + 5 + 0 + 0 + 0) = 10 points.
• If the student checks two correct alternatives, but also chooses an incorrect one, their score will be 5/10 (0.5) since the wrong choice will invalidate the correctly checked alternative that has the lowest value (5 + 5 -5).
• If the student checks only one of the correct alternatives and an incorrect one, their score will be 5/10 (0.5), because only the correctly checked alternative will be considered.
• If the student only checks the incorrect alternatives, their score is zero.

Gap / selectable gap question

In Gap or Selectable Gap questions, the percentage rule regarding the sum of the points from the correct alternatives and the total weight of the question is applied.

...

• A question has 3 selectable gaps and the option “Evaluate as a whole” is not checked.
• Each of the gaps has 4 alternatives, only one of which is correct.
• The correct choice in each of the 3 gaps is worth 50 points (3 x 50), while the incorrect choices are worth zero. Thus, each gap corresponds to 1/3 of the question grade.
• If the student checks 2 gaps correctly, their score will be 100 points (i.e. 2/3 of the total – 0.67).

...

Scale / value question

Scale/ value questions follow the same rules as Objective questions (mentioned above).

There is only one possible correct answer and the student can choose only one alternative. If the chosen alternative is the correct one, the student scores 1.0 point in the question. If it is wrong, the student does not score any points.
 

Correlation / multivalued question

In a correlation or multivalued question, you can define different scores for each alternative.

...

• A multivalued question has 4 alternatives with different weights.
• The question scores will be: (1) 40 points, (2) 30 points, (3) 20 points and (4) 10 points. Total: 100 points
• If the student chooses alternatives 1, 3 and 4 correctly, they will receive 70/100 points, i.e. the grade will be 0.70 for this question.

Open-ended question

Open-ended questions are the only ones that require a person responsible for grading them, i.e. they are not evaluated automatically by the system.

The grader may assign a score from 0 to 100 for open-ended questions, but the maximum score for this type of question in the calculation of the evaluation grade is also 1.0 point.

Ordered question

For ordered questions, the score is divided equally among the alternatives (you cannot define specific weights).

...

• An ordered question has 8 alternatives.
• Each alternative is worth 0.125 (1 / 8).
• If the student orders 5 alternatives correctly, their grade will be 5 x 0.125 = 0.62 (the platform rounds the grade up/down).

Question blocks

Question blocks can have different weights within an evaluation. However, the weight of the questions in a block will be the same for all of them and will consider the block weight and the number of questions.
