Comparing two seperate fill-in-the-blank answers

Comparing two seperate fill-in-the-blank answers

I am trying to create a problem in which a student enters the definition epsilon/delta definition for a limit. There will be four blanks in which the student must enter a name. Two of the values will correspond to epsilon and two will correspond to delta. Obviously it does not matter what the names are but the pairing is important.

Is there a way to compare the users entries?

Hi Wojciech,

The way I would do this is with the MathObjects MultiAnswer evaluator, which lets one group a set of answer blanks and decide how to grade them accordingly. A (hopefully good) place to start exploring this is the problem techniques documentation page: http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/MultiAnswerProblems .
