Points are not deducted for incorrect answers for single answer questions; if you answer incorrectly, you will simply not earn the credit associated with answering correctly. However, for exams with multiple answer questions, .25 point is deducted for each incorrect answer. This prevents someone from simply selecting all options to earn the maximum number of points.
