True and False question

An example of True and False Question type

Overview

True or False question type is one of the simple and often-used question types. Usually, it will ask a student to judge a statement, and give the answer like "True" or "False". It is also a kind of on-answer only question type.

 

What to know

True and False question type allows students to judge a statement with a "True" and "False" option for them to select.

Set the general information of the question by:

Category: Where you want the question to be saved.

Question name: It will be shown when you are searching the questions in question bank, but students can't see the question name.

Question text: It describes the question itself and students will see it when taking the quiz.

Default mark: Please set the default mark as 1. We can change the marks later when you are editing the whole quiz.

 

General feedback: General feedback is shown to the student after they have completed the question. Unlike specific feedback, which depends on the question type and what response the student gave, the same general feedback text is shown to all students. You can use the general feedback to give students a fully worked answer and perhaps a link to more information they can use if they did not understand the questions.

ID number: If used, the ID number must be unique within each question category. It provides another way of identifying a question which is sometimes useful, but can usually be left blank.

Correct answer: If the correct answer of the T/F question is "True" or "False".

Feedback for response "True": Message the student will see when they select "True". (Optional)

Feedback for response "False":  Message the student will see when they select "False". (Optional)

 

Step 6: Multiple tries

When questions are run using the ' Interactive with multiple tries ' or ' Adaptive mode ' behaviour, so that the student will have several tries to get the question right, then this option will be useful to control how much they are penalised and what hint you will receive for each incorrect try :
