Essay / Open Answer
Essay questions allow the user to enter a free-form answer. You can choose between two types of essay questions:
- Text Box: Displays a <textarea> form field for the user to enter any text they’d like.
- Upload: Displays an upload button that allows the user to upload a file.
Essays come with 3 options for how they are graded after the quiz is submitted:
- Not Graded, No Points Awarded: The essay question is submitted and awaiting a grade. The final quiz grade will be displayed as “Pending” to the user.
- Not Graded, Full Points Awarded: Awards full points for the essay submission, but its status remains “Not Graded.” An admin can grade the essay at a later date, and adjust the awarded points.
- Graded, Full Points Awarded: Automatically mark the essay as “Graded” and award full points.
Options for showing messages for correct or incorrect answers should not be filled in for Essay/Open questions since it is user submitted and cannot be graded at the time of submission.
