   • With response rules, the distribution of the points is based on the criteria you set.
   • By using Kprime rules, students receive full points if all responses are correct, half points if one response is wrong and the rest correct, and no points if more than one answer is incorrect. It is possible to use both the response rules and the Kprime rules when creating a grading scheme.

Options for a statement question

For additional options, click the settings-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.
• Limit minimum to zero points
  With this option enabled, it is not possible 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.
