Range of acceptable numerical answers and search for specific text in short response answers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For short response questions that require a numerical answer, Flubaroo would 
look for numbers within a specific range. For example, if the correct answer is 
5.3, a teacher would be able to specify that any number between 5.2 and 5.4 is 
acceptable. This would eliminate issues due to rounding and significant digits 
(e.g., both 5.29 and 5.30 would be acceptable).

For text answers, Flubaroo would look for specific words rather than a perfect 
match. For example, if the correct answer is "Velocity", then the automated 
grader would accept "Velocity.", "It's velocity.", "Because of the velocity", 
and so on.
