About intelligent expression grading
When you create an expression question and correct answer, intelligent expression grading accepts
multiple representations of that answer expression as correct.
A student’s answer is always graded correct if it:
l
matches the question's correct answer exactly.
l
has a different representation, but is mathematically equivalent and uses the same terms and
operators in the same order as the question's correct answer.
You can use intelligent grading options to decide which other mathematically equivalent answers to
accept as correct. The following graphic shows the three levels of equivalency that you can define for
your questions.
