How do I set it so on a True/False problem the students are NOT allowed partial credit?

Thank you again! -Barbra Bannon

If you just want to prevent students from seeing which parts are incorrect, you can use the command

showPartialCorrectAnswers=0;

in your header material. With this command, students do get partial credit for the ones they get right, they can try to fix the ones they got wrong, but they are not told which parts are wrong.

If you want no partial credit at all, you would probably have to write a new grading routine. You could probably edit the ones Mike and Arnie posted at

Hope this helps.

Actually you don't have to do this. There is such a grader which comes in the standard WeBWorK distribution. All you have to do use it in your problem is to put in the line

install_problem_grader(~~&std_problem_grader);

in your problem.

Thanks Mark and Zig for answering Barbra's question.

Just to add a little additional information, look at the Set SampleGraders for information on how graders work and examples of how to use the two graders included with WeBWorK. There is also an example of a custom grader for the adventuresome.

I tried the lines

install_problem_grader(~~&std_problem_grader);

install_problem_grader(~~&std_problem_grader2);

in some multi-parts problems but webwork still gave partial credit and even the line

Note:You can earn partial credit on this problem.

was still present.  Could it be that something has changed after this message. We are now using webwork v19.

Thanks

Jun
