Add a Short Answer Question
Online Documentation ANGEL 7.2 > Lessons Tab > Add a Short Answer Question
Short answer questions provide the student with a textbox to type their response. Student responses must be manually graded. For short answer questions, the answer field allows the instructor to specify their grading criteria for what is considered as a correct response. This is very similar in purpose to the feedback text field.
To add a short answer question:
- Click the Add Question hyperlink (located on the quiz toolbar).
- Click the Short Answer hyperlink or icon (
). - Type or paste the question text in the Text field.
- Type an answer in the Answer field (optional).
- Type a point value in the Points filed.
- Type or paste general feedback in the General Feedback field.
- Click the Save button.
Because short answer questions must be manually graded, the answer text field serves the same purpose as the feedback text area – to provide the correct answer, a rubric, or feedback regarding the criteria to receive a good grade on the short answer. When you provide feedback or grading criteria, you may choose to use either of these fields or both.
