Saved a checkpoint:

Replaced javascript in part cwith a pattern restriction.

Saved a checkpoint:

I've reworded the statement and some of the prompts, and added a separate "simplify your expression step" using pattern-matching so that the first one doesn't have to be simplified.

I've also reworded the advice quite heavily.

Looks good. You still talk about single sweets in part (c) and in the advice, so you'll need to change to packets there too.

Bradley Bush4 years, 3 months ago

Thank you for the advice. I started with one part, you asked for two and now you've got 3.  I did forget to mention that they were super delux sweets, however I have altered them to packets for clarity sake. I have also followed through with the other suggestions you've made.

Gave some feedback: Has some problems

Chris Graham4 years, 3 months ago

Why only one part? There doesn't seem to be any good reason why it shouldn't be in two parts.

£2 for a lollipop?! They are unreasonably expensive sweets. May need a re-think to make this more realistic. You state Jerry eats a lot and I would disagree (based on my own sweet-eating habits), so perhaps these could be packets of sweets?

You have mixed singular "Jerry", and plural "they".

A good addition would be to add a step to (what will be) part a) which asks for an expression for each of the 3 components. This bit should also be above the cost equation in the advice. "we can see that the unsimplified expression..." can't be seen at all, until those steps have been taken.

This variable is an HTML node. HTML nodes can not be relied upon to work correctly when resuming a session - for example, attached event callbacks will be lost, and mathematical notation will likely also break.

If this causes problems, try to create HTML nodes where you use them in content areas, instead of storing them in variables.

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

No parts have been defined in this question.

Select a part to edit.

The correct answer is an equation. Use the accuracy tab to generate variable values satisfying this equation so it can be marked accurately.

Checking accuracy

Define the range of points over which the student's answer will be compared with the correct answer, and the method used to compare them.

Variable value generators

Give expressions which produce values for each of the variables in the expected answer. Leave blank to pick a random value from the range defined above, following the inferred type of the variable.

String restrictions

For each choice, specify the number of marks to add or subtract when the student picks it.

For each choice, write 1 if the student should tick it, or 0 if they should leave it unticked.

You must set a maximum number of marks in order to use this marking method.

You must set a maximum number of marks in order to use this marking method.

For each combination of answer and choice, specify the number of marks to add or subtract when the student picks it.

For each combination of answer and choice, write 1 if the student should tick it, or 0 if they should leave it unticked.

Both choices and answers must be defined for this part.

Test that the marking algorithm works

Check that the marking algorithm works with different sets of variables and student answers using the interface below.

Create unit tests to save expected results and to document how the algorithm should work.

There's an error which means the marking algorithm can't run:

Question variables

These variables are available within the marking algorithm.

Name Value

Marking parameters

These values are available as extra variables in the marking algorithm.

When you need to change the way this part works beyond the available options, you can write JavaScript code to be executed at the times described below.

Run this script the built-in script.

This script runs after the built-in script.

To account for errors made by the student in earlier calculations, replace question variables with answers to earlier parts.

In order to create a variable replacement, you must define at least one variable and one other part.

The variable replacements you've chosen will cause the following variables to be regenerated each time the student submits an answer to this part:

These variables have some random elements, which means they're not guaranteed to have the same value each time the student submits an answer. You should define new variables to store the random elements, so that they remain the same each time this part is marked.

This part can't be reached by the student.

Add a "next part" reference to this part from another part.

None of the parts which can lead to this part are reachable either.
