Evaluating Students with Quizzes, Choices, and Feedback
Types of feedback for a question
For a multiple choice question, you can create three kinds of feedback:
Type of feedback
Explanation and when to use it
General Feedback If you create general feedback for a question, no matter what answer
the student chooses, they will receive that feedback. Every student
who answers the question gets the general feedback. If you think
the student might get the correct answer by guessing, then you
can use general feedback to explain the method of arriving at the
correct answer. Also, consider using general feedback to explain the
importance of the question.
Any correct response A multiple choice question can have multiple answers that are 100%
correct. For example, "From the list of people below, select one person
who signed the Declaration of Independence." That list could include
several people who signed, and each of them would be 100% correct. If
the student selects any of those 100% correct answers, they will see the
feedback for Any correct response. This is useful when you want to
teach the student which answers are 100% correct, and why they
are correct.
For any partially
correct response
For any incorrect
response
You can create a multiple choice question that requires the student
to select several choices to get full credit. For example, "From the list
of people below, select the two people who signed the Declaration of
Independence." In that case, you could give each response a value of
50%. The student needs to choose both correct responses to receive the
full point value for the question. If the student selects some - but not
all - of the correct choices, they will see the feedback for Any partially
correct response. This is useful when you want to teach the student the
relationship between the correct responses.
Any response with a percentage value of zero or less is considered an
incorrect response. If a student selects any incorrect response, they will
see the feedback for Any incorrect response. This is useful when all
incorrect responses have something in common, and you want to give
the feedback about that commonality.
Remember that these types of feedback are not activated because the student chose a
specific response. They are activated because the student chose any correct, partially
correct, or incorrect response.
If you want to create feedback for individual responses, we will discuss that in the
following section. Feedback for individual responses.
Feedback for individual responses
You can create feedback for any individual response to a question. A response
is an answer that the student chooses or types. Each response can display its
own feedback.
