How do I grade a quiz in New Quizzes?
You can grade New Quizzes quizzes using SpeedGrader. Most quiz items are graded automatically after a student submits the quiz. However, essay and file upload questions must be graded manually.
This lesson describes how to access SpeedGrader from the Gradebook.
Notes:
- If the quiz does not display in the Gradebook and is worth zero points, the quiz's assignment details may be set to exclude the quiz from the Gradebook.
- You cannot grade New Quizzes quizzes in concluded courses.
- New Quizzes grades for students with concluded enrollments are not sent to the Canvas Gradebook.
- If you are using New Quizzes, learn how to grade one quiz question at a time.
- If anonymous grading is enabled, you do not see students' names while grading.
