¶ How is this question graded?
There are four ways that Multiple Selection questions can be graded:
¶ All or Nothing
Full marks are provided only for selecting all correct answers and no incorrect answers.
¶ Correct Selections
Marks are evenly distributed across all answers. Learners earn part marks for each answer correctly selected and left blank.
¶ Correct Answers - Limited Selections
Marks are evenly distributed across correct answers only. The number of selections allowed is limited to the number of correct answers. Learners earn part marks for each correct answer selected.
¶ Correct Minus Incorrect Selections
Marks are evenly distributed across all answers. Learners earn part marks for each answer correctly selected and left blank. Learners lose points for answers incorrectly selected or left blank. Learners cannot receive less than 0 marks.
