Categorization Partial Credit

[RebeccaPorter]

Each quiz question should be given the option of full or partial credit options. Full credit being default, partial credit being an option where you can award points based on whether or not they answered a percentage of the question correctly.

I'm going to archive this thread because partial credit really has to be established at the question level and depends on the question type.  Is there a question type that you have encountered that you are specifically thinking of?

Please update the Quiz feature to award partial credit to categorizing question types.

Absolutely, I can see some categorization questions where a student who got 19/20 shows the same as one who got 5/20 ie. not full credit, as a teacher I need to see at a glance how well they have understood, the student who got 19/20 may have one misunderstanding or made a mistake, 5/20 has not understood, without being able to see this I don't think the categorization quizzes are really suitable for use.
