Choice questions represent a fundamental assessment format that complements open-ended questions. Common variants include:

  • Single Choice (SC): One correct answer among several options
  • Multiple Choice (MC): Multiple correct answers possible
  • Kprim: Four statements each evaluated as true/false
  • True/False: Binary choice for each statement
  • Matrix Choice: Grid-based format combining multiple statements with response options

Important aspects for implementation:

  • Answer Recognition: Reliable detection of marked choices from paper
  • Partial Credit: Scoring rules for partially correct answers
  • Negative Marking: Optional penalties for incorrect selections
  • Layout Flexibility: Support for various question formats and arrangements
  • Statistical Analysis: Item analysis for question quality assessment

While not the primary focus of this project, choice questions offer advantages in automated grading reliability and reduced grading time.
