Negative marks for wrong answers in Multiple Choice questions in News Quizzes

0 Likes

There are many professors in our University needing to include negative marks for wrong answers in Multiple Choice questions. This seems a reasonable enough option for New Quizzes.

@Franaldo Thanks for sharing this feedback. My quick test indicates that this functionality is available in the multiple choice question type for New Quizzes. After enabling Vary points by answer, the instructor can assign a negative value to specific answer choices.

Would you read through How do I create a Multiple Choice question in New ... and let us know the result of your own testing?

Thanks a lot @Stef_retired! That's exactly right! You can establish negative marks using Vary points.

Apologizes for including this post and thanks again.
