To provide each student with a unique version of a matching question and minimise the likelihood of copying, variables can be incorporated into both the row and column content of a match question. This enables the parameterisation of match questions. 

For additional options, click the more_horiz-icon and click Edit. Then click on the more_vert-icon. You will see the following:

• 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.
  
  
• 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.
  Enabling partial scoring can increase the applied guess correction. Since students can earn points for partially correct answers instead of an all-or-nothing approach, they may be more likely to guess additional answers. This article provides a more detailed explanation of how the guess correction is calculated.  

Adding a grading scheme to a match question is done in the same way for both layout options,  whether it is the Matrix or Drag and drop layout. To add a grading scheme to a match question, 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 on more_horiz-icon and click Edit. 
4. Scroll down to the check box table. 
5. If automatic scoring is enabled, you can set the correct answers by clicking on the box that correctly identifies the matched pair. You can enable automatic scoring for a question by clicking on the more_vert-icon Options and checking the box Use Automatic Scoring.
   
6. If automatic scoring is disabled, the grading scheme can be specified by entering the number of points you wish to attribute to each correct matched pair. You can disable automatic scoring for a question by clicking on the more_vert-icon Options and unchecking Use Automatic Scoring.
   
7. Click Save.

You can also use the Calculate points button to calculate the maximum points. The points of all the answer options will be summed up automatically. Alternatively you can manually set the maximum number of points. It is optional to fill in feedback that will be shown when the results are published for:

• the question is answered correctly
• the question is answered partially correctly
• the question is answered incorrectly

You can also Click the more_vert-icon for more grading options.

• 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.
  
  
• Use automatic scoring
  When you use automatic scoring for grading, you will need to select the correct answer options. The platform will automatically award the number of points set in the grading scheme for the question, either the full or partial points, depending on the setting. Disabling this option makes it possible to adjust the number of points awarded with each answer option. Both with the option enabled and disabled, the platform will automatically review the question, the difference is being able to differentiate between the number of points awarded for each answer.
  
  
• Start with zero points
  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. 
  
  
• Limit minimum to zero points
  With this option enabled, it is impossible to go below zero points when selecting the different criteria. It is still possible to manually adjust the number of points to go below zero with the adjustment option during the reviewing.
  
  
• Limit maximum to total points
  In the grading settings it is possible to set the maximum amount of points achievable with the question, separate from the points per criteria When this number deviates from the maximum amount achievable by adding up the criteria points, this option will cap the maximum amount of points to this manually set number.
