• 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’s 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.
