You can enable Show My Work to let your students explain the reasoning behind their answers on assignment questions.
When you enable Show My Work for a question, your students can enter formatted text and math expressions in the Show My Work answer box. They can also upload files, such as digital images of a whiteboard or paper sketch, a word-processing document, or a graphic created with a drawing application.

You or your teaching assistant can then review each of your students' Show My Work responses and add comments or change the question-part scores based on the completeness or correctness of the work shown. You can award points for optional Show My Work responses, for example, if a student demonstrates understanding of the problem but makes a mathematical error.
You can set Show My Work as Required, Optional, or Disabled.
