Evaluation Definition - Response Set Information

Return to Demo/Tutorial Contents Page

Response Sets define the ways an evaluator can respond to evaluation questions (e.g. multiple-choice, narrative). The ability to assign a separate score value to each response in a multiple-choice response set makes it possible to have one set of numbers for the evaluator to select and a different set for scoring.

The Response Set Information dialog provides a place to enter/update this information.
