Partial Credit for Classification Questions

Question

I have created a quiz in Mastery Connect with a classification option. Under the "More" dropdown for grading, there are four options that I am not clear as to their meaning. Where can I find some clarification instead of having to grade/regrade every student's work.

1. Partial Match per cell2. Partial match per cell- max score3. Partial Match element4. Partial Match element-max score

@klong - Here is some more information about these scoring options in Mastery Connect classification items:

* Exact Match - Student must answer all parts of the question correctly to receive the total points.
* Partial Match Per Cell - Each cell of the table is scored individually and the “Point” score is awarded for each cell. Example: If the Point(s) is set to 1 and there are 2 cells, the overall score possible is 2 and students can earn 1 point for each cell completed correctly.
* Partial Match Per Cell - Max Score - Each cell of the table is scored individually and the overall question score is divided between cells. Example: If the Point(s) is set to 2 and there are two cells, the overall score possible is 2 and students earn 1 point for every cell completed correctly. 
* Partial match Per Element - Each response element (possible response) is awarded an individual score. Students receive points for each correctly classified response and the overall question score is equal to the Point(s) you enter multiplied by the number of possible correct responses. For example, if Point(s) is set to 3 and you have 6 possible correct responses, the overall question is worth 18 points.
* Partial Match Per Element - Max Score - Each element is scored individually and the overall question score is divided between elements. Example: If you have 6 possible responses and the Point(s) is set to 3, each correct response gives the student .5 points. However, Mastery Connect awards only whole numbers so a student would have to place two correct answers to get 1 point, four correct to get 2 points, and all six correct to earn 3 points.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. Here are a couple of examples.
