What is auto-grading?

Assignments containing questions created using the Questions AI tool will allow you to use Kami auto-grading.

The behavior of the auto-grading system depends on the type of answers accepted by the questions in your assignment, which is configured when the questions are created. Learn more about each below:

Single-answer questions

If a student's answer matches the answer key exactly, it'll be graded as Correct. Otherwise, it will be graded as Incorrect.

Multiple-answer questions

If a student's answer matches all correct options exactly, it'll be graded as Correct, and full credits given.

If a student’s answer includes no correct option, it'll be graded as Incorrect, and no credit will be given.

If a student’s answer includes at least one incorrect option, it'll be graded as Inaccurate, and no credit will be given.

Short Answer

If the Allow partial matches setting is not selected, student answers must be exactly the same as your answer key (the same word order, spelling, spacing, and punctuation).

When the Allow partial matches setting is selected, student answers can be partially correct. If the student's answer matches the answer key exactly, it'll also be graded as correct.
