Clarification on Week 3_Assignment

Dear Students,
The solutions for the Week three are correct, the marking process is also correct

Kindly recheck your score after reading the following procedure

For Multiple select questions:
If there are two answers, and the student has selected one correct answer then he/she will be getting partial marks, but if they have selected any one wrong answer then it will be marked as zero. This is the way portal works for MSQ type. In multiple choice question if you have two correct options the weighting is 50%, for three correct options weight age is one-third and for four correct option weight age is one-fourth for each option. 

So by checking the solutions, re calculate your scores. If still you are facing problem kindly send us the snap shots we will send an example document by selecting one among them.
