You can enable various tools for students to use when answering an Essay question. To allow students to use an on-screen calculator, click the Show on-screen calculator checkbox [1]. When you select this option, you can choose either a basic or scientific calculator [2]. The basic calculator displays numbers and basic math functions (add, subtract, multiply, divide). The scientific calculator displays more options for advanced calculations.
The Rich Content Editor is enabled for students by default. To disable the Rich Content Editor, click the Rich Content Editor checkbox [3].
To enable spell-check, click the Spell-check checkbox [4]. To enable word count tracking, click the Show Word Count checkbox [5].
To set a word limit for the Essay question, click the Set Word Limit checkbox [6]. You can set a minimum and maximum word limit for student answers [7].
Note: The on-screen calculator option is intended to be used while displaying one question at a time. If the quiz does not display one question at a time, students may be able to use the calculator for all questions.
