Ok...I know how to create EC assignment, and I've seen how to make an entire quiz extra credit, and I've read a little about "fudge points" which seems to be a completely convoluted way to add points to something, but my question is, is there anyway to make a quiz where the outcome is more than 100%? For example, I have a midterm exam with 60 questions, but I only want 55 of them to count, so in essence the student has 5 "free" questions. I don't make a distinction over which questions they are. The test is on a random draw.
Stephanie, Canvas quizzes don't allow much flexibility in terms of the point value. The point value for a quiz is determined by the point value you assign each question. Because of this trying to do what you'd like to do isn't really possible. The only thing I can think of is a slightly related discussion/request that might help give you some ideas of what is possible - Allowing students to X amount of questions but still getting max score
Hope this helps!
