True and False Questions

The process of importing a "true and false" question is similar to that used for importing multiple choice questions. Both of the following examples are valid ways to format a true and false question for importing purposes.

Example:

3) Albert Michelson determined the exact speed of light?

*a) True

b) False

Example:

3. Albert Michelson determined the exact speed of light?

*a. T

b. F

Note: The "True" or "T" answer choice must be listed prior to the "False" or "F" answer choice for Respondus to recognize it as a true and false question type, otherwise, if "False" appears first in the list, the question will be imported as a "multiple choice" question.

Including a Title or Feedback

Follow the same formatting rules described above, for instance:

Example:

Title: Light speed

3) Albert Michelson determined the exact speed of light?

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

*a. True

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

b. False

@ The correct answer is True. Albert Michelson determined the exact speed of light and won the 1907 Nobel Prize for Physics for his efforts.

Another way to designate a correct answer for a true and false question is to place it in a list of correct answers at the end of the file. The list must begin with the word "Answers:" and must be positioned at the end of the file. (Note: Any text after the answer list will be ignored.)

The correct answer for a true and false question can be designated in three ways: (1) using the complete words "True" and "False," (2) using the letters "T" and "F," or (3) using the alphabetical letters "A" (for true) or "B" (for false).

For example, the formatting of each of the following answers is acceptable for true and false questions in which all of the answers are "true":

Example:

Answers:

1. True

2. T

3. A
