[ARCHIVED] I'm wondering if I can make a question worth 1/2 (.5) point instead of a whole number?

[kjuul]

In the old quiz feature, I was able to change the total points value for a single question to .5 instead of 1. I do not see this option in the new quizzes. Every time I try to change the points value to a decimal, it is defaulting to a whole number (i.e. .5 defaults to 5). How can I make a question worth less than 1?

Hello,

I do give decimal points a few times and tried the same with New Quizzes and it worked all fine. Here is what I did:

1. Open an existing quiz in edit mode or create a new quiz.
2. In the Build page, add a quiz question and manually enter 0.5 in the Points field. (The arrows only show 1 pointer increment.)
3. Click Done. The total points reflect the updated score in the Question Navigator (left-hand side of the screen in the following screenshot.)

The score also gets updated on the Build page as shown in the following screenshot.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

We are finding that with point values less than 1, it initially removes the decimal (for instance, changing .5 to just 5). But if you put your cursor in front of the number, you can successfully add the decimal back in.
