                    Essay

                    Reading time: 1min

                    Students answer this question type by writing a (usually long) answer inside a text editor. This includes the possibility to insert formulas using the MathType button. This question type does not have automatic grading. The teachers must review the answers and manually grade them – students will not have a complete quiz grade until then.

                    Use this type to make questions with random wordings, for example, by defining random variables and using them in the question text. You only need to write the question's statement and the algorithm of CalcMe to, in this case, generate the representation of the function.

                    You can see its dedicated page if you want more information on creating and configuring graphics and plotters. All configurable settings must be defined through CalcMe except the size of the graphic plotters in the question statement. To do so, you must use the following commands:

                    #yourplottername_desiredsize

                    #yourplottername_desiredwidth_desiredheight

                    For example, you can display a plotter with a custom size of 400px per 300px by using the syntax #plotter1_400_300 on the question's statement.
