This will automatically submit the problem for grading purposes, and the edX platform is able to verify your answer and give you immediate feedback as to whether or not your answer is correct.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px;">The number of attempts allowed as well as the number of attempts you've already made will always be visible on a problem's page at the bottom, next to the "Submit" button. Please note that for problems consisting of multiple parts, hitting the button will count as an attempt for all parts of the problem. Unfortunately, it is not possible to submit answers for one part at a time.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px;">A "Show Answer" button will appear after you correctly answer the question, or have used all your attempts. Clicking this button will reveal the correct answers and solutions.</p> <p style="font-size: 16px;">You are strongly encouraged to look at the solutions even if your answer is correct.</p> </div> </div> <div class="vert vert-1" data-id="block-v1:MITx+15.480x+3T2021+type@html+block@50621822173540cc8b42b857f057434a"> <div class="xblock xblock-public_view xblock-public_view-html xmodule_display xmodule_HtmlBlock" data-usage-id="block-v1:MITx+15.480x+3T2021+type@html+block@50621822173540cc8b42b857f057434a" data-block-type="html" data-graded="False" data-course-id="course-v1:MITx+15.480x+3T2021" data-has-score="False" data-request-token="a92fad9f84b011ef8f23023e4242adeb" data-init="XBlockToXModuleShim" data-runtime-class="LmsRuntime" data-runtime-version="1"> <script type="json/xblock-args" class="xblock-json-init-args"> {"xmodule-type": "HTMLModule"} </script> <h3><strong>Answer Formats</strong></h3> <p>This course will use three answer formats:</p> <ul class="itemize"> <li> <p>Numerical answers: Enter a number, either in decimal (e.g., '3.14') or fractional form (e.g., '22/7'). Do not enter any non-numerical letters or symbols. To account for rounding, the system will accept a range of answers as correct. Unless otherwise specified in the problem, your answer should be accurate to 2 decimal places. If a question asks for a number in percentage form, type only the number (e.g., enter '5.42%' as '5.42'). Do not use commas when entering numbers.</p> </li> <li> <p>Multiple choice: Select the correct option from the drop down menu or radio buttons.</p> </li> <li> <p>Checkboxes: Select the correct option(s) (there may be more than one) from the checkbox buttons.</p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div>
