An item's value depends on how many attempts it takes for the user to get the correct response. Each item is worth one point. If students incorrectly answer an item, its score drops by one-half. But, at least, learners get some credit for their efforts once they come upon the correct answer. In most cases, feedback is accompanied by an affirmation of the correct grammar rule or an explanation of the applicable rule in English.
Students can see the errors they made in each item as well as their score for each exercise.
If they wish, they can print out their scores for up to 30 completed lessons in one session. Spanish Partner gives on-line help with how to produce diacritical marks and how to skip over a troublesome item. This Skip option provides the learner with the correct response. Learners could use this feature as a less challenging way to go through the activities. Even though they may consider this feature as a possible short cut to learning, it would be virtually impossible for students to memorize the responses to such a large number of items.
