The aggregation dropdown menu lets you choose the aggregation strategy that will be used to calculate each participant's overall grade. There are different options:

• Mean of grades: The sum of all grades divided by the total number of grades.
• Weighted mean: Each grade item can be given a weight, which is then used in the arithmetic mean aggregation to influence the importance of each item in the overall mean.
• Simple weighted mean: The difference from Weighted mean is that weight is calculated as Maximum grade - Minimum grade for each item.
• Sum of grades: The sum of all grade values.
• Mean of grades (with extra credits)
• Median of grades
• Smallest grade
• Highest grade
• Mode of grades

The STACK system is a computer-aided assessment package for mathematics, which provides a question type for the Moodle quiz. In computer-aided assessment (CAA), there are two classes of question types.

• Selected response questions
  In these questions, a student makes a selection from or interacts with, potential answers which the teacher has selected. Examples include multiple-choice, multiple response and so on.
• Student-provided answer question
  In these questions, the student's answer contains the content. It is not a selection. Examples of these are numeric questions.

STACK concentrates on student-provided answers which are mathematical expressions. For example, a student might respond to a question with a polynomial or matrix. Essentially STACK asks for mathematical expressions and evaluates these using computer algebra.

Please visit STACK Demo course for examples and practice.
