Add Hints and Feedback to Problems (Questions)

Overview

Checkboxes, Dropdown, Multiple Choice, Numerical Input and Text Input problems can be created to include hints and feedback to students as they attempt to complete them. The process to create them is similar to creating the aforementioned problems, however, attention must be made to the coding.
