Add categories and keywords to questions |
Select this check box to include the option to create categories and add questions to them. This option also enables Instructors to add keywords to questions. When searching for questions from a Question Pool or other Tests, Instructors may search for questions by category and keyword. |
|
Specify default point value for questions |
Select this option and all questions will automatically have the same point value. Enter the point value in the Default point value: field. This only sets a default. The point total for each question can still be customized. |
Instructors must set the Default Point Value before creating questions for it to be effective. If the default point value is changed, only questions created after it is modified will have the new point value. Questions created before the modification will have the old point value. For example, set the Default Point Value to ten then create questions in the Assessment. These questions will have a point value of ten. Next, change the Default Point Value to 15, and create additional questions in the Assessment. These new questions will have a point value of 15, but the questions created initially will still have a point value of ten.
