Create test questions with multi choices

Hi everyone,

I have an enquiry. Is it possible to create a set of questions that have multiple choices (multi- answers selection)? So that, the student can take the test, and then the system comes back with results.I really appreciate your ideas, so that I can start with my project, which is to build an Intelligent tutoring system using Matlab.

Thanks, Sam

Do you want to create a simple console-based interface, or a graphical user interface?

You've asked this before <http://www.mathworks.com.au/matlabcentral/answers/33180-tutoring-system-using-matlab-gui>. Perhaps you need to rephrase your question. Rather than asking if it's possible, why not ask where to start?

How about this:

% Asks for a,b,c-style choices and returns the corresponding choice as a
% number from 1 to numel(choices).

function [x] = GetChoice( question, choices )
    disp(question);
    arrayfun(@(x)fprintf(' %c. %s\n', x-1+'a', choices{x}), 1:numel(choices));

    while 1
        x = lower(input('Your choice> ', 's'));
        if numel(x) == 1 && x >= 'a' && x < 'a' + numel(choices)
          x = x - 'a' + 1;
          break;
        end
    end

end

% Example
question = 'What best describes your cognitive process?';
choices = {'logical', 'suspicious', 'erratic', 'optimistic'};
result = GetChoice( question, choices );

[elias da costa lima]

function [x] = GetChoice( question, choices )

disp(question);

arrayfun(@(x)fprintf(' %c. %s\n', x-1+'a', choices{x}), 1:numel(choices));

while 1

x = lower(input('Your choice> ', 's'));

if numel(x) == 1 && x >= 'a' && x < 'a' + numel(choices)

x = x - 'a' + 1;

break;

end

end

end

% Example

question = 'What best describes your cognitive process?';

choices = {'logical', 'suspicious', 'erratic', 'optimistic'};

result = GetChoice( question, choices );
