In QuestionPage.aspx, added a line to parse out #'s from the question and assign variables (was causing errors) to both the ajax call to grade as well as the one to prepare to transfer to the next question (was also causing an error there). In QuestionPage.aspx.cs commented up all of my additions, fixed the fact that it was always deducting once from the grade (deductionStrings had length 1 when feedback was ""). Also altered the way the deductValue was being calculated in order to round at 2 decimals instead of 1 and account for the first matrix they have to create to copy the problem.
