Introduction

The Ordering question type is based on OU's qtype_ddwtos. The thing with OU’s qtype_ddwtos is it does not grant partial marks for out of order answers.

Example:

1.) Student gets order right as per the actual answer. In this case default marks are awarded to students.

eg: 1,2,3,4 => Full marks.

2.) Students gets order a little different from actual answer. In this case no marks are awarded to students.

eg: 4,1,2,3=>0 marks

The Ordering question type will allow students to score partial marks even if their response is out of order.

Example:

1.) Student gets order right as per the actual answer. In this case default marks are awarded to students.

eg: 1,2,3,4 => 4 marks (Default marks set by teacher)

2.) Students gets order a little different from actual answer. In this case partial marks are awarded to students.

eg: 4,1,2,3=>3 marks (Partial marks will be deducted as per set by teacher.Partial marks are 1 in this case)

3.) Students gets order entirely different from actual answer. In this case no marks are allocated.

eg: 4,3,1,2=>2 marks (2 elements are out of order so 2*partial marks will be deducted)

4.) Students gets order entirely different from actual answer. In this case no marks are allocated.

eg: 4,3,2,1=>0 marks
