:alt: In Excel, 5 rows show 5 answer values, 4 of which show comprehension of the question, but only 1 answer is marked as correct

However, as you view the report you notice other student answers that you did not set up to be marked as correct in Studio, but that you might (or might not) also consider to be correct, such as "Warfarin or Coumadin". The **Correct Answer** column shows that the other answers were marked incorrect (0), but for future iterations of your course you may want to reevaluate the wording of your question or how other answers are scored.

makes sense, but could be more specific, like, "you may want to set up the problem to evaluate variations of the correct answer as correct"

While most students in this example selected the correct answer, the number of students who selected an incorrect answer, and the answer(s) they selected, can guide review of, and future changes to, your courseware or this problem.

"your courseware or this problem" -- do you mean "your courseware for this problem"?

@brianhw I actually was thinking that the author could change one or the other or both -- maybe the topic wasn't explained carefully enough, or maybe the question was open to interpretation. But I see your point, so I changed to "...the courseware."

@brianhw made your change; @shnayder does this new topic provide enough direction & of the type you wanted?

Split into two sentences? e.g. "You can adjust your course content based on common student mistakes".
