Calculated numeric and calculated formula questions are used when you want students to solve a mathematical problem. They are still auto-graded questions but they are more open-ended than a standard multiple choice question.
- With Calculated Numeric questions, students are presented with a question that requires a numeric answer. The question doesn’t need to be a mathematical formula. You can provide a text question that requires a numeric answer. Calculated Numeric questions resemble Fill in the Blank questions where correct answers are numbers.
- For more information and detailed directions on Calculated Numeric Questions, see the Blackboard Help page on Calculated Numeric Questions.
- With Calculated Formula Questions, students are presented with a question that requires them to make a calculation and respond with a numeric answer. The numbers in the question change with each student and are pulled from a range that you set. The correct answer is a specific value or a range of values.
