Fórmulas: Tutorial

Una sola pregunta

Comencemos por considerar el caso simple de una sola pregunta. 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 ! and *:

General
  Question name!
Main question
  Question text!
Part 1
  Part's mark*
  Answer*
  Grading criteria*

Ejemplo

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!

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 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:

Note that some text has to appear in the Question text field of the Main question because it 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 part 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?
                       Enter your answers in the boxes 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.
