Scoring: permit half points for all question types

1 Description

Some question types include the possibility to grant half points (e. g. multiple choice) while others do not (e. g. cloze question, numeric questions).
 
We would like to enable half points in all question types.
 

1.1 Missing Question Types

With the following question types it isn't possible to configure float points (e.g. 0.5) by using the colon sign as decimal separator:

  • Text Subset Question
  • Cloze Test Question
  • Numeric Question
With the following question types it isn't possible to configure float points at all:
  • Ordering Question (horizontal)
  • File Upload Question
  • Text Essay Question
  • Formula Question

4 Discussion

BH 14 Oct 2013: I do not see any technical problems implementing this streamlining feature and I highly appriciate it.

JF 25 Nov 2013: We appreciate this feature and schedule it for 4.5.

BH 04 Aug 2014:
 
I noticed the ilNumberInputGUI checks a manipulated value (colon is replaced by point). Isn't it inconsistent, that this value is manipulated for a check only? Shouldn't get the value manipulated in the root, so an additional replace isn't neccessary on saving the value fetched from the form input?
 
I could take care of this issue during the implementation of this feature request.

Klaus Zimmermann 15 December 2014: We tested and accepted the feature.

5 Implementation

BH 18 September 2014: The feature has been implemented and is ready for acceptance.

Klaus Zimmermann 15 December 2014: We tested and accepted the feature.

BH 19 Jan 2015: Implementation Description
 
With the implementation of this feature it is now possible to store decimal point values on all core question types supported by the test & assessment.
