Giving Feedback in Respondus
Individual Feedback

With an Exam file, you can give your students feedback for individual answer choices by placing the feedback immediately after the answer choice and beginning the line with the @ symbol. There must be at least one space between the "@" symbol and the feedback text.

Example:

Title: Speed of Light

3) Who determined the exact speed of light?

a) Albert Einstein

@ No. Albert Michelson determined the exact speed of light.

*b) Albert Michelson

@ Yes. Albert Michelson won the Nobel Prize for Physics for determining the exact speed of light.

c) Thomas Edison

@ No, Thomas Edison did not determine the exact speed of light.

General Feedback

General Feedback can be imported in a similar way, but it must appear immediately after the question wording and before any of the answer choices. The line must still begin with the "@" symbol, and there must be at least one space between the "@" symbol and the feedback text.

Example:

Title: Speed of Light

3. Who determined the exact speed of light?

@ Albert Michelson was the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Physics (1907) for his measurements of the speed of light. His experiments laid the groundwork for Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.

a. Albert Einstein

@ No. Albert Michelson determined the exact speed of light.

*b. Albert Michelson

@ Yes. Albert Michelson won the Nobel Prize for Physics for determining the exact speed of light.

c. Thomas Edison

@ No, Thomas Edison did not determine the exact speed of light.

Note: Both types of feedback can be used within a single question. (Note: if you are importing questions into a survey file, all feedback designations will be ignored.)
