[ARCHIVED] Fix error in New Quiz correct answers, and then regrade

[SuCeRi]

What is the process by which I correct an incorrect answer in a multiple choice question in New Quiz after my students have taken the exam? As has always been the case, I do an item analysis of any exam after the students have taken it, and before I post the grades, to make sure I have not made any mistakes, or included an unfair question.

I need to edit the multiple choice question to the correct answer, and then see that reflected in my students' score. How do I do that? To be clear, I have 400 students.

Thank you!

(P.S. It seems, at first glance, to be an issue that I have banked the question, as NEW Quiz only allows the questions to be edited "in the bank." Surely that does not prevent me from fixing what is essentially the "answer key", and then my students' scores being corrected accordingly? Again, I have not yet posted the scores, if that matters.)

After I posted my question, I stumbled across most of an answer here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-regrade-an-assessment-question-in-New-Q...

What it does not include, and I can't quite figure out, is that it seems to take a while to go through? I feel like I clicked the final "Regrade" and then... what?

Update: it has now been applied correctly and my students' scores have been updated.

NOW -- can I fix it "permanently" by editing it and fixing it in the exam and in the item bank?

Instructions could stand to be much more transparent, and user function needs improvement here.

It needs to be a heck of a lot easier to fix a mistake on one's "answer key" before even posting the grades to the students, and not have to have it marked as "re-graded" on every student's exam (which it seems like it will be? not sure.)

But right now, I could use some help on knowing whether now -- having made sure that my students' scores are reflecting the fix -- I can make the change in the original quiz and in the item bank without screwing anything up!

Seems like I have successfully done so. BUT...

NOW -- why, once I've now regraded, and corrected the answer in the quiz and in the item bank, why does it not change in the "Quiz and Item Analysis Report"

Thanks.

I'm just in the midst of regrading questions on a final exam built in the new quiz editor, mostly because the new editor won't give partial credit on matching and drag-and-drop questions. What I'm finding are two things. First, very often, after regrading the selected questions, when I then click the Update button at the bottom of the test, I get a 409 error for about the first 30 seconds, despite clicking Update several times. Once Canvas has decided it is willing to update the score, I then have to click Update at least once more before the new score appears in the gradebook. Just now, I had a test where it took several minutes before a clicking Update had that effect. I can't say for sure that clicking Update multiple times will change the score in the Quiz and Item Analysis Report, but you might give that a shot. I just wish regrading worked correctly the first time...

Please ignore my suggestion at the end of my previous post - I just discovered that, for all the grief I've endured regrading questions, when i went back to exams i'd previously regraded, I discovered that all the restored points have disappeared! Perhaps I'm choosing the wrong regrading option, but to me, the instructions for regrading questions in the new quiz editor (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-regrade-an-assessment-question-in-New-Q...) do a very poor job of explaining what each option does. I just want to know how to regrade individual questions on individual exams so that 1) other students' scores aren't affected, and 2) the points added to each exam "stick" in the Gradebook. So far, I've wasted several hours regrading exams, only to find that the new scores have disappeared.

Final exam project always essays ending, I like to write more than recording videos.
