WeBWork Style Ideas

  • Use Checkboxes wherever True False might be employed. Checkboxes are a familiar widget and require no instructions as to how to use them.
    • using t,f or should that be T,F, or should that be True,False, or should that be TRUE FALSE, or should that be yes,no, or... you get the idea
    • Be sure to program a set of checkboxes so they behave as genuine independent options (they should not behave like Radio Buttons!)
    • Make a clear, direct binary statement in the prompt for a Checkbox. Unless, of course, the goal is solution of a tortuous logic puzzle smile
  • Use Radio Buttons for mutually exclusive alternatives. Similarly, Radio Buttons are a familiar widget and require no explanation.
    • If they look like radio buttons, be sure to program them to behave as mutually exclusive options.
