Dear All,

 

Does anyone know if you can prevent the deduction of points in multiple
answer questions in a test?  We use BB 7.3 but information on other
versions would be useful as well.  The default is that any incorrect
answers are deducted from the number of correct choices in a multiple
answer question.  

 

From the online manual it appeared that the extra credit function would
do this but it doesn't.  According to the manual: 'This option allows
the Instructor to make the questions an extra credit questions as
opposed to a regular question. If this option is selected points are
added to the score if the questions is answered correctly; no points are
taken away if the questions is answered incorrectly.'  Certainly does
not do that automatically as far as I can tell.  Can anyone shed any
light on what 'extra credit' actually does and how it works?

 

Any responses much appreciated.

 

Regards Richard
