After selecting the Ordering question type on the Test Canvas the Add/Modify Ordering Question page appears. Ordering questions require Students to provide an answer by selecting the correct order of a series of items.
Students will be granted partial credit for ordering questions if they answer part of the question correctly. For example, if the question is worth eight points and the student gives the correct order for half of the items, they will receive four points.
Note: Survey questions cannot be assigned a point value, keywords or to a category. Surveys are not graded; therefore answers are not correct or incorrect.
