What does Result Type mean?

What is Auto Correct?

Auto-Correct will validate the answer and add a note to each answer, teachers can score the answer using these auto-correct notes.
What is Auto Score?
Auto Score will automatically assign marks to each answer. An Assignment must be an auto-correct assignment to be auto-scored, and you must set marks for each question too.
