    2: 
    3: To create a \textbf{String Response} problem, create a new resource (described in
    4: \ref{Creating New Content Pages}). This is a {}``problem'' resource
    5: so the URL must end in {}``.problem''. 
    6: 
    7: \begin{enumerate}
    8: \item In the drop-down option box as seen in \ref{Creating a new problem resource},
    9: select \textbf{String Response Problem}, and click the \textbf{New Problem}
   10: button.
   11: \item Click the \textbf{Edit} button above the sample problem to enter edit mode.%

   17: \end{figure}
   18:  You should see the String Response editor page open up, which should look
   19: something like what you see in the ``String Response Editor'' figure.
   20: \item Clear the text from the \textbf{Text Block} at the top of the problem, and
   21: type in your problem.
   22: \item In the \textbf{Answer Box}, type the correct answer.
   23: \item Select the answer condition from the drop-down. There are three cases to
   24: choose from:
   25: 
   26: \begin{enumerate}
   27: \item \textbf{cs}: This means {}``Case Sensitive''. For example, this is useful
   28: in chemistry, where HO and Ho are completely different answers. The student must match the case of the answer.
   29: \item \textbf{ci}: This means {}``Case Insensitive''. The system does not use
   30: the case of the letters to determine the correctness of the answer. If the
   31: correct answer is {}``car'', the system will accept {}``car'', {}``CAR'',
   32: {}``Car'', {}``caR'', etc.
   33: \item \textbf{mc}: This means {}``Multiple Choice''. The student's answers must
   34: contain the same letters as the question author's, but order is unimportant.
   35: This is usually used to give a multiple choice question in the question's
   36: \textbf{Text Block}, which may have several correct parts. If the author
   37: sets the correct answer as {}``bcg'', the system will accept {}``bcg'',
   38: {}``cbg'', {}``gcb'', etc., but not {}``bc'' or {}``abcg''.
   39: \end{enumerate}
   40: It is conventional to inform the students if the problem is case sensitive,
   41: or that the order of the answers doesn't matter.
   42: 
   43: \item Optionally, locate the \textbf{Single Line Text Entry Area} block and set
   44: a length in the Size box. This will only affect the size of the box on the
   45: screen; if you set the box size to 2, the student can still enter 3 or more
   46: letters in their answer.
   47: \item Scroll down to the \textbf{Hint} element, and type some text that will help
   48: students when they answer incorrectly, or delete the hint by setting the
   49: \textbf{Delete} field to \textbf{Yes}.
   50: \item Click the \textbf{Submit Changes} button.
   51: \end{enumerate}
