Topics - Advanced Feedback Options

Advanced Feedback Options allow assessment authors to set additional scoring requirements and feedback messaging for an assessment. When enabled, the score requirements for a Topic must be achieved in order to meet the assessment passing requirements.

FOR EXAMPLE If an assessment Passing Score is 70% and a Topic has a Passing Score of 85%, respondents not meeting/exceeding the Topic score requirement of 85% will not achieve a passing score for the assessment overall because they did not meet the required Topic score.
