SimBio recommends that students' scores for an assignment be based on both the completion of all Feedback Questions and on their score on the Quiz Questions, to give credit both for making an effort (answering Feedback Questions) and for understanding (correctly answering Quiz Questions).
| Feedback Questions |
- Formative assessment questions are designed to help students learn.
- For "Check Answer" questions, students get immediate feedback that is designed to help guide them to a better understanding of the material.
- "Record Prediction" questions encourage students to think critically about topics and systems.
- Students can answer repeatedly until they get the correct answer.
- The SimBio Active Learning System defaults to 0 points for the Feedback Question portion of the assignment, but the points can be adjusted either globally or per individual assignment on the Assignments page.

| Quiz Questions |
- Summative assessment questions are designed to judge how well the students learned the material.
- Students do not receive feedback on their responses when they answer the questions.
- The SimBio Active Learning System defaults to 10 points for the Quiz Questions portion of the assignment, but the points can be adjusted either globally or per individual assignment on the Assignments page.
