When using a mixture of these types of questions in an Assessment, the score is
calculated on those questions which are scored. For instance, if you have 2
questions, one Scale 1-10 and one question Narrative, the score will be based on
the one questions Scale 1-10 – if the user chooses 2 out of the possible 10, he
/she will receive a score of 2.
What types of assessments can I create with Assessment Generator?
You can create two Types of assessments, Simple
and Type Based.
What is a Simple Assessment?
A Simple Assessment is an assessment that is
scored as one complete assessment, whether it is 2 questions or 100 questions.
You DO create scoring keys in this type of assessment.
What is a Type Based Assessment?
In a Type Based Assessment, you create Question
Types to apply scoring to. You assign the score to the type of question you have
created. For instance, if your assessment is split into three types of questions
– beginner, intermediate, advanced, you can assign a lower score to the
questions in the Beginner Type questions than in the Advanced type questions.
You do not create Scoring Keys in this type of assessment
