Numeric Answer Tolerance

This section allows you to override the system default + 3% for numeric answers and will apply to all questions in your assignment.

Some things to note regarding this feature:

The override will only apply to standard questions that use the system's default tolerance.  Some questions require students to make estimates and have a wider tolerance.  Some questions require an exact, or more exact, answer and have a tighter tolerance.  The override would not affect either of those cases.

If you need to set a different tolerance only for a single question or a select few, you will need to copy the problem, use the Problem Authoring area, and change the tolerance only for the questions that you want.  If you don't have an authoring account yet, please contact your account manager.
