¶ This is a survey
Survey questions have no correct answer, and will not be marked.
¶ Case Sensitive
If this is checked, then capitalization will be important while evaluating the answer. If not, then the answer will be converted to lower case before evaluation.
¶ Verification Type
There are three types of verification for marking short answer questions:
- Exact Match: The answer will be compared to a single correct answer for equivalence
- List Match: The answer will be compared to a list of correct answers, to see if it is equal to one or more of them.
- Pattern Match: The answer will be evaluated using a Regular Expression.
