• Bonus
  This marks the question as a bonus question, which means the number of points awarded with this question will be counted until the maximum amount of points achievable for this assignment is reached. The points of the bonus question are not included in the maximum amount of points that can be achieved for the assignment If the student answers the question incorrectly, this will not be detracted from the number of points and the mark.
  
  
• Skippable 
  error_outline From the 5th of January 2025, the option to allow students to skip questions will be removed. More information can be found here.
  You will first need to assign which students are exempt from answering this question within the settings of your course. You can then enable which questions can be skipped by these students. During the taking session, students will see the content_cut next to the question to indicate that it is skippable for them. Although they can still see the question, they are not able to answer it. The number of points for this question will not be counted in their results. It is not possible to change this setting after the test has been taken.
  
  
• 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 a statement 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 the more_horiz-icon and click Edit. 
4. It is optional to fill in feedback that is shown when the results are published for:
   
   • the question is answered correctly
   • the question is answered partially correctly
   • the question is answered incorrectly
5. Select the correct answers by clicking the circle buttons.
6. Click +Add response rule or +Add Kprime rules. 
   • 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. 
7. To add extra response rules, click +Add response rule
8. You can use the Calculate points button to calculate the maximum points. The points of all the statements will be summed up automatically. Alternatively, you can manually set the maximum number of points. 
9. 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 method 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.
  
  
• Limit minimum to zero points (For the points-per-criteria grading method only)
  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 (For the points-per-criteria grading method only)
  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.
