For a Multiple Answers question in a quiz, is it possible to make each correct answer worth 1 point?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@vivianchu , greetings! Yes, you can make each correct answer worth 1 point as long as you have the number of points the question is worth be the same as the number of correct questions. Ex: 3 correct answers and the question is worth 3 points. Then each answer is worth 1 point each. Yet, depending on the number of distractors, the students would also lose a certain number of points for each incorrect answer. For more discussion on this, if you are interested, see the following - https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-6674-understanding-multiple-answers-questions
Hope this helps! Kona
