Hello! Is there a way to auto-regrade when questions are pulled from a quiz bank? I gave a 70 point exam and there are two questions that were frequently missed and had poor statistics. I would like to accept two answers as correct for both questions. I gave the exam to almost 200 students. I am really hoping there is a way to do this without manually looking up who answered either of the two ways I am accepting and manually fudging points for those who answered the other answer I am accepting... That will take many hours! This was simple when I used ExamSoft but I cannot find any way to do this on a Canvas exam with questions pulled from a quiz bank.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @foreverlaur!
Unfortunately it is not possible to regrade a a question that is being pulled from a bank.

I've linked to a guide page below and here is the part you were hoping not to see.
"Regrade Restrictions
Quiz regrade does not apply to questions linked to a question bank since questions may be used in more than one quiz."

No. This is not only possible but also needed. Canvas needs to put itself together to fix this bug.
This is silly. The feature was first requested in 2015!!! How is it not yet implemented?
