Open-ended question (course)

Definition

A quiz prompt that asks a student to answer in their own words and is graded by a human instructor rather than by exact-match logic.

Why it matters

Multiple-choice questions test recognition; open-ended ones test whether a student can put a concept into language they own. In Supernatural, instructor-graded answers are the only path to a final score on lessons that involve real reflection.

Example
