Weighted Graders

This code shows how to assign different weights (percentages) to each answer in a problem.

PG problem file Explanation
DOCUMENT();

loadMacros(
"PGstandard.pl",
"PGcourse.pl",
"MathObjects.pl",
"weightedGrader.pl",
);

install_weighted_grader();

TEXT(beginproblem);

Initialization: We need to include the weightedGrader.pl macro file and install it.

Context("Numeric");
Context()->variables->add(t=>"Real");
Context()->strings->add(A=>{},B=>{});

$r = random(2,4,1);
$answer1 = Real("pi * $r**2");
$answer2 = Formula("($r - 1) * x**2 * t") -> reduce;
$answer3 = String("A");

Set-up: To show how this works with MathObjects, we add some variables and strings to the context.

Context()->texStrings;
BEGIN_TEXT

Enter \( \pi $r^2 \): \{ans_rule(10)\}
Enter \( $answer2 \): \{ans_rule(10)\}
Enter A: \{ans_rule(10)\}

END_TEXT
Context()->normalStrings;

Main Text: Answer boxes are as usual.

$showPartialCorrectAnswers = 0;

WEIGHTED_ANS( ($answer1)->cmp(), 40 );
WEIGHTED_ANS( ($answer2)->cmp(), 40 );
WEIGHTED_ANS( ($answer2)->cmp(), 20 );

ENDDOCUMENT();

Answer Evaluation: Use WEIGHTED_ANS( evaluator, weight ); instead of ANS( evaluator );. The code given assigns 40% to each of the first two answers, and 20% to the last answer. The weights should be positive integers that sum to 100.
