New! Quickly Assign Partial Credit & Grade Free Response Questions

While most of the Derivita questions are auto-graded, you still have the ability to go in and override grades or apply partial credit. With our new Simplified Question Editor, you can now ask free response/math essay type questions as well! These questions need to be hand-graded and we now have a convenient way for you to quickly grade your students’ responses - even on multi-part questions. Learn more about partial credit and manual grading here.


New! Students can Upload Images as Answers to Free Response Questions

With our Simplified Question Editor, you can now ask students to upload images as their answer! Students are able to insert images directly from their computer or they can simply use their phones to capture and upload pictures.
