== Single question == | |||
We begin by considering the simple case of a single question. We will see how the text of the question can be placed in the Main question, or in a Part if we treat the question as a subquestion. Better yet, we will show how to use a placeholder. | |||
=== Question text in the Main question === | |||
The most basic form of a formulas question is having the text of the question in the Question text field of the Main question section. To create such a simple formulas question, you must complete at least all the required fields, that is, the five below marked with an asterisk: | |||
General | |||
Question name* | |||
Main question | |||
Question text* | |||

Create your first formulas question as follows: | |||

Congratulations, you just created your first formulas question! The "Editing a formulas question" page should look like this: | |||

and the formulas question should look like this: | |||

=== Question text in a Part === | |||
For a single question, it makes almost no difference if the question text is put in the Main question or in a Part. | |||
==== Example ==== | |||
Modify the previous example and place the text of the question this time in the Part's text field of Part 1: | |||
General | |||
Question name* Question text in Part 1 | |||
Main question | |||
Question text* A question on the addition | |||
Part 1 | |||
Part's mark* 1 | |||
Answer* 7 | |||
Grading criteria* Absolute errror == 0 | |||
Part's text What is 3 + 4? | |||
The formulas question should look like this: | |||
[[File:FormulasTutorialQuestion01c.png]] | |||
Notice that some text has to appear in the Question text field of the Main question because this is a required field. | |||
=== Using a placeholder=== | |||
Placeholders are used to insert the text of subquestions in the Main question. We will see later that they are very convenient. Note that each subquestion being assigned to a part, we will use interchangeably the terms subquestion and part. | |||
==== Example ==== | |||
Modify the previous example and use a placeholder to insert the text of the subquestion in the main question: | |||
General | |||
Question name* Using a placeholder | |||
Main question | |||
Question text* A question on the addition | |||
{#01} | |||
Part 1 | |||
Part's mark* 1 | |||
Answer* 7 | |||
Grading criteria* Absolute error == 0 | |||
Placeholder name #01 | |||
Part's text What is 3 + 4? | |||
The formulas question will look the same as in the previous example. | |||
---- | |||
== Multiple questions, i.e. subquestions== | |||
If there is more than one question in a formulas question, we will treat them as subquestions. It is then necessary to define the mark, answer and grading criteria in a part for each subquestion. | |||
=== Without placeholders=== | |||
If you don't use subquestion placeholders, the answer boxes of the subquestions will simply be stacked one above the other. | |||
==== Example ==== | |||
Create a formulas question that has three sub-questions. Do not use placeholders. | |||
General | |||
Question name* A formulas question with three subquestions | |||
Main question | |||
Question text* What is 3 + 4? | |||
What is 4 + 5? | |||
What is 5 + 5? | |||
Please enter your answers below in the same order as the questions: | |||
Part 1 | |||

Part 2 | |||

My first formulas question
To create a Formulas question, you must complete at least all required fields, that is, the five below marked with an asterisk:
General Question name* Main question Question text* Part 1 Part's mark* Answer* Grading criteria*
Example
Create your first formulas question as follows:
General Question name* My first formulas question Main question Question text* What is 3 + 4? Part 1 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 7 Grading criteria* Absolute errror == 0
Congratulations, you just created your first question!
The "Editing a formulas question" page should look like this:
(Image coming soon)
and the formulas question that was just created should look like this:
(Image coming soon)
Subquestions
If there is more than one question in a question, we will call them subquestions. It is then necessary to define the mark, answer and grading criteria in a part for each subquestion.
Example
General Question name* Formulas question with three subquestions Main question Question text* What is 3 + 4? What is 4 + 5? What is 5 + 5? Please enter your answers below in the same order as the questions. Part 1 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 7 Grading criteria* Absolute errror == 0 Part 2 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 9 Grading criteria* Absolute errror == 0 Part 3 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 10 Grading criteria* Absolute errror == 0
Single question
We begin by considering the simple case of a single question. We will see how the text of the question can be placed in the Main question, or in a Part if we treat the question as a subquestion. Better yet, we will show how to use a placeholder.
Question text in the Main question
The most basic form of a formulas question is having the text of the question in the Question text field of the Main question section. To create such a simple formulas question, you must complete at least all the required fields, that is, the five below marked with an asterisk:
General Question name* Main question Question text* Part 1 Part's mark* Answer* Grading criteria*
Example
Create your first formulas question as follows:
General Question name* My first formulas question Main question Question text* What is 3 + 4? Part 1 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 7 Grading criteria* Absolute error == 0
Congratulations, you just created your first formulas question! The "Editing a formulas question" page should look like this:
and the formulas question should look like this:
Question text in a Part
For a single question, it makes almost no difference if the question text is put in the Main question or in a Part.
Example
Modify the previous example and place the text of the question this time in the Part's text field of Part 1:
General Question name* Question text in Part 1 Main question Question text* A question on the addition Part 1 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 7 Grading criteria* Absolute errror == 0 Part's text What is 3 + 4?
The formulas question should look like this:
Notice that some text has to appear in the Question text field of the Main question because this is a required field.
Using a placeholder
Placeholders are used to insert the text of subquestions in the Main question. We will see later that they are very convenient. Note that each subquestion being assigned to a part, we will use interchangeably the terms subquestion and part.
Example
Modify the previous example and use a placeholder to insert the text of the subquestion in the main question:
General Question name* Using a placeholder Main question Question text* A question on the addition {#01} Part 1 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 7 Grading criteria* Absolute error == 0 Placeholder name #01 Part's text What is 3 + 4?
The formulas question will look the same as in the previous example.
Multiple questions, i.e. subquestions
If there is more than one question in a formulas question, we will treat them as subquestions. It is then necessary to define the mark, answer and grading criteria in a part for each subquestion.
Without placeholders
If you don't use subquestion placeholders, the answer boxes of the subquestions will simply be stacked one above the other.
Example
Create a formulas question that has three sub-questions. Do not use placeholders.
General Question name* A formulas question with three subquestions Main question Question text* What is 3 + 4? What is 4 + 5? What is 5 + 5? Please enter your answers below in the same order as the questions: Part 1 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 7 Grading criteria* Absolute error == 0 Part 2 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 9 Grading criteria* Absolute error == 0 Part 3 Part's mark* 1 Answer* 10 Grading criteria* Absolute error == 0
The formulas question should look like this:
Obviously, we can do better by placing the three questions each one in a part.
