Full View shows a preview of the question, along with the question name and ID, links to add, remove, or view questions, any question comments, and time estimate, usage, and difficulty bar graph indicators to the right of the question name. The time estimate indicator shows the median time students spent on a question, the usage indicator shows how many students have attempted the question, and the difficulty indicator shows the percentage of students whose first response to the question was incorrect. You can click either the usage or difficulty index indicator for detailed information.
