New Quizzes: Vary Points by Answer for Fill In Blank questions

[cindyk]

I really like the vary points by answer for multiple choice questions.  With auto-grading, students can get feedback immediately and I can include a short comment about a common mistake associated with that specific incorrect answer while recognizing that most of the work was correct.  BTW, I teach math at the secondary level and exact answers are important so numeric and formula questions are not a viable option most of the time.  The problem with only using MC is that some students are good guessers or work backwards and I need to check for understanding of the standards.

Since Fill in the blank questions are also auto-graded and support free response, I'd love the same ability to give partial credit and feedback.  Since the RCE is not available for these answers (and I understand why - mathquill returns an image, not LaTeX, so cannot be auto-graded), I want to be able to correct syntax but still give most of the points, or again indicate the common mistake.
