Remove 'Number of Marks' for learner

It's confusing and our learners think it means how many answers you need to select.

Thanks Holly Flickinger! 
I understand where this confusion might arise, in order to dedicate tech resources to changing this we'd need a more compelling business case to do so (for example if there's similar feedback and popularity for this specific improvement) 
I'm happy to keep this as a feature request and allow other customers to share their feedback and let us know if their user feedback is the same

Thanks Holly Flickinger!

What is it that's confusing about the UI here?
How would this change have positive impact on how you're currently working?

Alfie from HowNow: people assume marks equates to answers -- where I'm assuming it is the weighing mechanism? Regardless, what is the point of having people see number of marks?

The purpose of showing marks is for learners to be able to know how their answers are being weighted (for example when using different question types in the same assessment)
I'd love to gather some more feedback regarding this. For now, lets keep this as an open feature request, but it won't be considered for our upcoming roadmap without a more compelling business case

our users think the number of marks means the number of correct answers...so now we need to do that or they get confused.... I don't want them to be able to see the weight (marks) for the question

Hi Holly Flickinger

Can you share a screenshot of where you mean please?

Alfie from HowNow here is a screenshot of how it's affecting users in our company - we face exactly the same issue where users think the number of marks mean the number of correct answers. It would be helpful to be able to attribute marks to actual answers.
