The multiple choice/fill in the blanks questions will be either correct or incorrect. The possible points for this type of problem are 4, 3, 1, or 0. You will earn 4 points if the answer is correct, 3 points for answer errors listed in rubric and 1 point if the answer is not correct or not readable. No attempt will result in 0 points. The reason that there is no partial credit for these types of problems is that there is no work shown – just the answer. Do not waste time showing your work for these problems.
The short answer questions will have detailed work shown and you can earn partial credit. Thus, you can earn 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0 points for this type of problem.
