MTF (ETH)

Maintained by ETH Zurich

Multi True false in one stem (question). Brief: The MC question type as it exists in Moodle is not very ideal, since you can only configure questions which are not very well designed regarding best practices of MC questions. Teachers can have more than one true/false question in same stem. this saves creating new questions for each stem. especially when it comes to an essay followed by many questions.

Hi EA Carl, yes good idea - we will implement it on qtype_mtf and other ones we maintain. Please stay tuned for the next update

Hello, Are there any plans to add an ID Number to this question type (e.g. to be usable as an embedded question)?

Hello Adrian, answer came back:
An important reason to develop MTF was to circumvent the issue of “negative grading” in the standard MC-question type: We do *not* like penalties in the MTF question type therefore, since penalties give an advantage to the risk taking students / risk averse students have a disadvantage  we do not want to measure the risk taking qualities of students in exams.
If Adrian wants to award penalties, he can use the standard MC question type. And you can also point him to https://blogs.ethz.ch/letblog/2019/12/18/how-to-multiple-choice-with-moodle/

Thank you for answering so quickly. It would be nice to be able to do this:
Option 1: correct = 100% ; incorrect = -50%, -25%...
Option 2: correct = 100% ; incorrect = -50%, -25%...
(...)
Best regards.

Hi Adrian, I’ll forward your question to the QC team. You can use the quiz behaviour for trial penalties, however this will be applicable on the whole quiz. We have question type SC (will be published this month) where you can have penalties based on distractors (if the user eliminates options from the question), this might be of interest for you

Hi, Is it possible to put penalties inside each wrong option?
