1. 1. The essay question will not be assigned a grade until it has been reviewed by a teacher and manually graded. Until that happens, the student's grade will be 0.
   2. Matching.  A list of sub-questions is provided, along with a list of answers. The respondent must "match" the correct answers with each question.
   3. Multiple choice.  In response to a question (that may include an image) the respondent chooses from multiple answers. There are two types of multiple choice questions - single answer and multiple answer.
   4. Numerical.  From the student perspective, a numerical question looks just like a short answer question. The difference is that numerical answers are allowed to have an accepted error. This allows a continuous range of answers to be set that lets you create questions like "What is a root of x^2 - 3x + 2?" and award different levels of credit depending on the accuracy of the answer.
   5. Pattern Match.  Allows a short response of one, or a few sentences ( up to about 20 words ) that is graded by comparing against various model answers, which are described a specified response pattern (model answer), which is set using the OU's pattern match syntax. This question types works best when you are asking for a single explanation that can be marked as right or wrong.
   6. Random short answer matching.  Like a Matching question, but created randomly from the short answer questions in a particular category.
   7. Select missing words. Missing words in the question text are filled in by selecting from a dropdown menu.
   8. Short answer.  In response to a question (that may include an image), the respondent types a word or phrase. There may be several possible correct answers, with different grades. Answers may or may not be sensitive to case.
   9. True/false.  In response to a question (that may include an image), the respondent selects from two options: True or False.
   10. Variable numeric.  Allows a numeric response, expressions are evaluated on the fly and the evaluated expression is compared to the student response.
   11. Variable numeric set.  Allows a numeric response, question can have several 'variants', expressions are pre evaluated for each question variant.
