Scoring criteria and elaboration of the answer

Open questions must be checked manually (via one or more Correction rounds ). In order to check the answers as fairly as possible, it is important to use the same requirements for all candidates. These requirements -or assessment criteria- can be named in the open question under the "Scoring Criteria" section. In addition, an explanation of the scoring criteria can be provided in the 'Elaboration of the answer'.

Scoring criteria

In the open question, the section 'Distribution of points' and 'Scoring criteria' is included. Here one or more assessment criteria can be named and points awarded. It is also possible to choose whether or not to assess with decimals. A scoring criterion can briefly state what the correct answer is or what a candidate is being assessed on. For an essay question, for example, the assessment criteria might include: structure, grammar, spelling and content. For a math question, the result of a calculation could be mentioned here.

Elaboration of the answer

It is also possible to include an 'Elaboration of the answer' (in addition to the assessment criteria). The 'Elaboration of the answer' is intended as support for correctors during revision. In the elaboration of the answer there is room to explain the scoring criteria, for example to indicate what to pay attention to when assessing, or to give the complete calculation for a mathematical question. An 'Elaboration of the answer' can be added by selecting the 'Elaboration of the answer' from the top left of the drop down list when editing a question and adding it to the question. An 'Elaboration of the answer' can be added to any question type.
