Hello,
Please could you clarify how the penalty system works in quizzes? Does one incorrect choice remove the whole grade for the question?
Thanks
Well, generally speaking we consider that THE solution of a MCQ where penalty for wrong ticks is clearly indicated, to be the whole ticked/unticked binary vector: anything else than this very vector is wrong and worth 0 points. (the reason being: if you know that there is some penalty for wrong ticks, simply don't tick propositions your are not sure of). We generally want to evaluate the total/global understanding of a given point, not a partial understanding of it.
Now, in some cases we could consider some wrong answers to be "less wrong" than others and could weight them a bit less than "completely wrong" (= kill the whole question), as we could also consider some positive answers (the most trivial ones) to be less weighted than others.
