Multiple Choice (static choices)This type is similar to the basic multiple choice question, but does not allow the answer choices to be randomized.
TeX Formatted QuestionsAllows for the inclusion of a script in either Javascript or C to accompany the question and provide additional randomization. TeX Multiple ChoiceA 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 OpenIs the most customizable question type with the following abilities: Multiple ChoiceA 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 TeXA 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 ResponseAlgebraic 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.

TeX Formatted Questions
The advanced question types all use TeX formatting. Each type is available for use on all types of assignments, are automatically graded by default, and have the ability to have multiple parts to a question:

This section is a work in progress please excuse the sparse documentation. If you'd like to use this question type and don't find the sufficient information on this page please email us. |
| Question Type | Recommended Usage | Description | Randomization Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTML & JavaScript |
| This question type primarily supports the usage of matrix elements to be used for creating free response matrix elements.
Additionally, the JavaScript supports matrix variables which makes coding questions quicker. | High |
| TeX & (C or JavaScript) |
| This question type allows for multiple choice, numerical free response, and free response answers.

| specific syntax for the correct answer | med |
Regardless of the style of TeX question you would like to create, there are certain lines that are required for this question type. The code field must at least contain a specification of the expected answer and the syntax depends on the type of response you would like from students. For more information about the response type you'd like to create, please see the corresponding page:
