We use 4 - 2 - 1 - 0
We have A-D (4 option) MCQs for our tRATs, so I couldnąt justify giving 1
mark to the students who have exhausted all the options.
If you have A-E then I can see 4, 3, 2, 1 (0) making more sense.
I wonder whether one gets more discussion with the 4/2/1/0 option. The
fact that getting it right first time is worth double the points may
encourage students to spend more time thinking/discussing their preferred
response and coming to a proper consensus. But that is just a gut feeling
- I wonder if anyone has tried to see whether it actually makes any
difference? Does anyone know of data on this?

Hi,
What is the most popular grading system for tRATs? One point off for
each wrong answer (4,3,2,1) or reduce by half for each wrong answer
(4,2,1,0)? Other methods? What are the pro and cons?
