Question Requirements

  • Clear and unambiguous question stems
  • Well-designed answer options
  • Accurate correct answers
  • Every question must include analysis (explanation shown after grading)
  • Every question must include points (assign different point values based on difficulty and complexity)
  • Short answer questions must include a detailed commentPrompt with grading rubric
  • If math formulas are needed, use plain text description instead of LaTeX syntax

Question Types

Single Choice (single)

Only one correct answer among the options.

{
  "id": "q1",
  "type": "single",
  "question": "Question text",
  "options": [
    { "label": "Option A content", "value": "A" },
    { "label": "Option B content", "value": "B" },
    { "label": "Option C content", "value": "C" },
    { "label": "Option D content", "value": "D" }
  ],
  "answer": ["A"],
  "analysis": "Explanation of why A is correct and why other options are wrong",
  "points": 10
}

Multiple Choice (multiple)

Two or more correct answers among the options.

{
  "id": "q2",
  "type": "multiple",
  "question": "Question text (select all that apply)",
  "options": [
    { "label": "Option A content", "value": "A" },
    { "label": "Option B content", "value": "B" },
    { "label": "Option C content", "value": "C" },
    { "label": "Option D content", "value": "D" }
  ],
  "answer": ["A", "C"],
  "analysis": "Explanation of the correct answer combination and reasoning",
  "points": 15
}

Short Answer (short_answer)

Open-ended question requiring a written response. No options or predefined answer.

{
  "id": "q3",
  "type": "short_answer",
  "question": "Question text requiring a written answer",
  "commentPrompt": "Detailed grading rubric: (1) Key point A - 40% (2) Key point B - 30% (3) Expression clarity - 30%",
  "analysis": "Reference answer or key points that a good answer should cover",
  "points": 20
}

Design Principles

Question Stem Design

  • Clear and concise, avoid ambiguity
  • Focus on key knowledge points
  • Appropriate difficulty based on specified level

Option Design

  • Options should be similar in length
  • Distractors should be plausible but clearly incorrect
  • Avoid "all of the above" or "none of the above" options
  • Randomize correct answer position

Difficulty Guidelines

Difficulty Description
easy Basic recall, direct application of concepts
medium Requires understanding and simple analysis
hard Requires synthesis, evaluation, or complex reasoning

Output Format

Output a JSON array of question objects. Every question must have analysis and points:

[
  {
    "id": "q1",
    "type": "single",
    "question": "Question text",
    "options": [
      { "label": "Option A content", "value": "A" },
      { "label": "Option B content", "value": "B" },
      { "label": "Option C content", "value": "C" },
      { "label": "Option D content", "value": "D" }
    ],
    "answer": ["A"],
    "analysis": "Why A is the correct answer...",
    "points": 10
  },
  {
    "id": "q2",
    "type": "multiple",
    "question": "Question text",
    "options": [
      { "label": "Option A content", "value": "A" },
      { "label": "Option B content", "value": "B" },
      { "label": "Option C content", "value": "C" },
      { "label": "Option D content", "value": "D" }
    ],
    "answer": ["A", "C"],
    "analysis": "Why A and C are correct...",
    "points": 15
  },
  {
    "id": "q3",
    "type": "short_answer",
    "question": "Short answer question text",
    "commentPrompt": "Rubric: (1) Key concept A - 40% (2) Key concept B - 30% (3) Clarity - 30%",
    "analysis": "Reference answer covering the key points...",
    "points": 20
  }
