Hi.
Rough workaround ideas.
Grading depending on the number of tries.
You can download a file with number of tries for each part of the problem:
'View the course assessment progress chart', Output-Data 'Tries'.
Now merge this with the 'scores per problem' file and compute your own
grading in the excel format file.
Grading with negative weights.
Modify the problem: Don't take an optionresponse with - lets say 3 -
foils but 3 different parts. If you download the 'scores per problem'
file you can use the score for each part: 0.5 for correct (if the weight
for the part is 0.5 like in the example below) and 0 for incorrect. Now
you can change 0 to -0.5 (this could be done in new columns using
functions in the excel format file) and summing up.
I give a simple 'template' problem below that shows, how to randomly
choose and randomize the statements and corresponding values for the
parts. You can use statements with latex formulas using the xmlparse
function, if needed.
If you need more parts: 1. Set the variable '$number_of_parts' to the
new value. 2. Simply copy the part with id p0 and replace p0 with p3 and
so on.
