General Instructions:
In order for the questions and answers to be correctly parsed, it's crucial to distinguish between questions. To accomplish this, each question must begin with one of the following:
a) The word 'Question', followed by a number, followed by the number of points to assign enclosed in parentheses, optionally followed by the value of discount to assign in case of incorrect answer enclosed in parentheses, as in 'Question 23 (10 points) (2.5 discount)'.
b) The word 'Question', followed by this same parenthetical indication of points and optionally followed by the indication of discount in case of incorrect answer, as in 'Question (10 points) (2.5 discount)'.
c) The word 'Question', followed by a number, as in 'Question 1'. In this case, zero points will be assigned to that question.
d) A number, followed by a period, followed by the same parenthetical indication of points to assign, optionally followed by the same parenthetical indication of discount in case of incorrect answer, as in '1. (10 points) (2.5 discount)'
e) A number, followed by a period, in which case zero points will be assigned to that question.
The text of the question itself may be placed on this same line or below it, and should be followed by answers in the appropriate format for that question type. The parser will use this format to deduce the question type of the question.
To add correct feedback you need to add a line like this: '#FBOK: Text of the correct feedback'. In case of incorrect feedback the line must be '#FBNOK: Text of the incorrect feedback'.
5) Enter a format for your question type in the questions box.
6) You can now validate your questions and click “Create Question Pool” to create a question pool.
