 * Hello Team,
 * I am writing to see if we can set an option to reward incorrect responses with
   negative marks/points such as -0.60 or -0.50 etc.
 * So each time the student selects an incorrect/wrong answer, he/she will get negative
   marks.
 * Example:
    If we set the negative marks/grades to -0.50 in a quiz of 10 questions.
   This way if the student attempts 10 questions with 6 correct responses and 4 
   incorrect, he/she should get the total of
 * Correct Responses [2 * 6 = 12]
    Incorrect responses [-0.5 * 4 = – 2.0]
 * Total marks/grade = 10
 * Please let me know if we can do this.
 * Best Regards,
    Syed H

 * Hi Syed,
 * I see that you’ve created [an enhancement request](https://github.com/Automattic/sensei/issues/3859)
   for this on GitHub. Given that’s the proper procedure to follow for new feature
   requests, I’m going to go ahead and close this post. You’ll be able to follow
   that issue for future updates.
 * Thx!
