Assessing a Multiple Choice Question (several correct answers)

EXAM assesses Multiple Choice Questions automatically.

In the following example, a student has chosen three options. The correct ones marked with green give two points, and the wrong one with red colour takes one point, so the total amount is 1/2.

You can also assign the points manually by skipping the automatic points. Total amount of points cannot be negative, so the minimum sum is zero.
