Maple T.A. Fill in the Blanks Question 

Using the fill in the blanks question type, you can create a question with text fields the student must fill in or with drop-down boxes that the student must select their answer from, or both. For information on using Maple T.A. question  tasks and converting them to Maple T.A. format, see help page title . 

Algorithmic Variables 

1. Algorithmic variables can be used to create questions that contain randomly generated parameters. Define your algorithmic variables in the following execution group. If required, add more execution groups. You can refer to algorithmic variables in other variable definitions and in the other sections of this question by putting a "${" and "}" around the variable name. For example, x:=${myvariable}. If you refer to an algorithmic variable in 2-D math, do not include the braces. For example, . 

>	variable := expression;

 

(1.1.1)

 

Question 

2. In the space below, type your question text around the text fields. Type your answers inside the text fields. The question content outside of the blanks can contain text, 2-D math, plots, images, and algorithmic variables. 

Replace this text.                                      

Answer 

3. In the space below, type a comma-separated list of extra choices for each blank. These choices will be displayed in drop-down boxes and can only contain text. If you don't provide extra choices, the student will see empty text fields to fill in. 

 

Hints 

4. Maple T.A. displays hints when the student requests them. Enter your hints in the following table. Hints can contain text, 2-D math, and algorithmic variables. Hints can also refer to ${RESPONSE} (the student response) and ${ANSWER} (the correct answer). You can provide up to three hints. 

Replace this text with hint 1.

Replace this text with hint 2.

Replace this text with hint 3.

Feedback 

5. Maple T.A. displays feedback after the student completes a question. The feedback can contain text, 2-D math, and algorithmic variables. The feedback can also refer to ${RESPONSE} and ${ANSWER}. 

Replace this text with feedback.
