Complete Problem Authoring Templates by Subject Area
This page has complete examples of problem templates organized by subject area. Within each subject, we give an explicit and brief description of the essential characteristics of each type of question. To keep overlap to a minimum, we try to give an example of each problem technique exactly once, which means you may need to look for a particular problem technique under other subject headings until you find it. We try to give a fairly complete list of techniques, rather than a complete list of types of questions that one might ask in each subject. All of these questions exist in the Open Problem Library (OPL) at OpenProblemLibrary/FortLewis/Authoring/Templates/
A detailed list of code snippets for specific problem techniques has it's own category: index of problem techniques.
Miscellaneous Templates
- Answer is a number or a function. The most commonly used template file.
- Answer is a function with domain issues. We show how to set the domain and test points for evaluation and give customized answer hints. (Uses answerHints.pl)
- A multiple choice question with radio buttons. There is only one correct answer and all choices are shown.
- A multiple choice question with a popup menu. There is only one correct answer and the choices are hidden until the menu is clicked on.
