Short answers are allowed multiple answers, which is awesome. My question is when multiple answers are inputted for the question, how are the student replies for the short answers marked correct or wrong: in any order, can they leave one out and get it correct, or can they give any single answer and get it correct. I tried to check myself by putting myself and my husband in as students but Google wouldn't allow us to enroll into any of my classes. This will change how I develope worksheets for my 3rd graders. We are going 1 to 1 devices this year and I am looking forward to immediate feedback for them and less papers to correct for me :) Thanks for your help! Therese Duffy

Hi Therese, if your students put a response that exactly matches any of the items you place in the answer key, their response will be marked as correct! It would be great to hear what you think of this. Thanks! David

Thanks, David! That is what I needed to know. It would be nice to have the option to choose whether they needed to have all answers or any one to get it correct. I have my entire grade level excited about Formatives!
