• Bonus
  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.
  
  
• Start on a new page 
  A new question will begin on a new page.
  
  

• Separate answer boxes
  When creating a question, it is possible to add extra answers in the answer boxes. By default, all answers will be in one box. If this option is enabled, the answers will be separated.

  

• Partial Scoring
  Students will receive points when their answer is partly correct. For example, if the total number of points they can receive for a question is 2 and their answer is 50% correct, they will still receive 1 point. Without this option, they can only receive 0 or the maximum number of points.

To add a grading scheme to an open question with final answer, follow the steps below.

1. Click the Grading scheme tab at the top of the assignment or question bank exercise.
2. Go to the question for which you want to set the grading scheme.
3. Click the more_horiz-icon and click Edit. 
4. Click the dropdown menu Grading type* and choose your method.
5. Click the more_vert-icon for more grading options.
6. Click Save.

• Model answer
  A solution for the reviewers (and for participants when published). The model answer can be an extensive elaboration, an image, or a file.
  
  
• Start with zero points (For the points-per-criteria and rubrics grading types only)
  If this option is enabled the marking of this question will always start at zero points and the points will be added up when selecting the criteria. When this option is disabled, the marking will start with the maximum amount of points that can be awarded for this question and selecting the criteria will be subtracted from this maximum. This means that the criteria should be added as minus points of the total amount. The reviewer can then select the criteria if the student did not meet this with their answer, so it can be detracted from the total amount of points.
