Matching Questions

Matching questions will allow students to pair items in one column to items in another column. Instructors may include a different numbers of questions and answers in a Matching question. For example, the question may include a list of animals and a list of food they eat (herbivore, carnivore, omnivore). The users would match each animal with their diet. Students will be granted partial credit for matching questions if they answer part of the question correctly.  For example, if the question is worth eight points and the student gives the correct answers for half of the matches, they will receive four points.
