lightbulb_outline This question type can be used in a written assignment only.
The open question with a final answer is a question type that is mostly used when a correct answer awards full points. If the final answer is correct, an instructor or reviewer does not need to check the reasoning or calculations. This question type is primarily used for math questions, but it can also be used in other cases.
Open questions need to be graded manually. To support this process, you can make use of criteria, rubrics, or the slider.
Questions can be created either in a question bank exercise or within a course assignment. The image below demonstrates how to create questions from within a course assignment.

This marks the question as a bonus question, which means that its points are not included in the maximum amount of points achievable for that assignment. If a student answers the question incorrectly, this will not be detracted from the number of points and the mark. However, when awarding points, it is possible to achieve more points that the maximum points achievable for the assignment.
