In Mastery Connect, you can create a formula essay item. In a formula essay question, the student enters and formats text and math using a keyboard and a keypad interface. This type of question uses rubric grading.
You can create any item type through the Item Editor. You can also use the Item Editor to add passages, add item-level tools, and save the item. To open and use the Item Editor, learn more about:
- Creating an item in your personal item bank
- Creating an item in the district item bank as an administrator
- Creating an item from within an assessment
Note: This question type is now deprecated, meaning it will not be updated in the future.
