Multiple Choice (static choices)

This type is similar to the basic multiple choice question, but does not allow the answer choices to be randomized.

 

Due to the nature of their machinery, CS Proof type questions are only available to UT instructors with developer access.

TeX Multiple Choice

A slightly more complex formatting choice for a multiple choice question. The choices are shuffled each time a new copy of the question is published.

Requirements - at least two answer choices and an explanation of the solution

Automatically graded - yes

Multi-part - yes

Eligible for homework or test - yes, to both

Randomization level - low/medium

TeX Open

Allows for the use of a script in either Javascript or C to accompany the question and provide additional randomization. Can be used to create the following additional types:

Multiple Choice

A complex formatting choice for a high level of randomization in a question.

Requirements - at least two answer choices and an explanation of the solution

Automatically graded - yes

Multi-part - yes

Eligible for homework or test - yes, to both

Randomization level - low-high (based on how it is utilized)

Numerical TeX

A numerical free response question that grades with a default of 1% deviation from the provided answer.

Requirements - coded portion for the calculation

Automatically graded - yes

Multi-part - yes

Eligible for homework or test - homework only

Randomization level - low-high

Algebraic Free Response

Algebraic free response expects an algebraic equation as an answer. X+1 is the same thing as 1+X, but π is not the same as 3.14 (values must be exact).

Requirements - global free answer type and quotes around solution equation. 

Automatically graded - yes

Multi-part - yes

Eligible for homework or test - homework only

Randomization level - low-high
