Convenince labels added to the top of each file to assist in creating
index-type help files for things like the XML editor screen (where
there's nothing to hook help to).
1: \label{String_Response_Problems}
2:
3: \textbf{\index{String Response}String Response} problems are problems in
4: which the student submits a string of characters for the answer. Examples
5: of string response questions are vocabulary tests, short answer and entering
6: chemical formulas.
7:
8: Note that it is easy to abuse String Response problems. For instance, consider
9: the question {}``Who wrote 'Huckleberry Finn'?'' If you tell the system
10: the answer is {}``Mark Twain'', and a student answers {}``Twain'', the
11: system will mark it wrong. If they answer {}``Samuel Clements'', then the
12: student will definitely get it wrong. There is some room for flexibility
13: in the string processing, but it can be difficult to get it all right. Before
14: you use a String Response problem, be sure you can easily characterize correct
15: answers.
