                                  score_value = 2,
                                  immediate_feedback = True)

True/False (TrueFalseQuestion)

Questions with binary responses (True/False).

Example

        q3 = TrueFalseQuestion(text = "The Earth is flat.", 
                                correct_answer = False, 
                                score_value = 0.5, 
                                immediate_feedback = False)

Short Answer (ShortAnswerQuestion)
