ANGEL attempts to grade fill-in-the-blank questions using a sounds-like algorithm to compare student responses to a list of instructor-provided acceptable answers. Student responses that are phonetically “sound like” one of the instructor-provided allowed answers are counted as correct. Depending upon the strictness of grading, it might be desirable to provide additional allowed answers to ensure phonetically incorrect student responses (that the instructor would have counted as correct) are counted as correct. Allowed answers are not case-sensitive.
