[New Quizzes] Bulk Assign full credit option for open-ended questions

[AkwasiOpoku-Dak]

Problem statement:

I assign a quiz with an open-ended question intended to collect students' thoughts on a topic. It is graded in order to encourage students to respond thoughtfully. 150 students respond. I am able to download all their responses via the student analysis and scan the spreadsheet to see that all of the students provided a reasonable response. Now I want to go into the quiz and set that question to give all students full credit. Can I do this now without having to go through and manually grade the 150 responses? If yes, please do tell how! If no, please, if you can save anyone from doing something 150 times that would be awesome! Thanks

Proposed solution:

Is it possible to set up an open-ended question to assign full credit and to be able to choose that option either before or after students have responded. This was possible in Blackboard and oh so convenient.

User role(s):

@MPioRoda I did not see an option to reply to any of the messages here including yours on April 13 (not sure if that functionality is limited to certain roles) so I am editing my request to respond. I believe your suggestion applies only to entire assignments, not to specific quiz questions. So, no it does not address the request.  Thanks.

@MPioRoda 4/14, no, because my request is not for "unanswered" or "non-graded" questions. It is to assign default points for a question that is answered and graded. Also, can CANVAS please make it possible for an author of an idea to be able to respond to replies to the idea rather than have to re-edit my question each time? When I try to respond to your comments, what I see is shown in the attachment. No option to reply:

Hi @AkwasiOpoku-Dak -

Thanks for sharing your idea with the Community. Please separate your Problem Statement from your Proposed Solution and leave a comment when you're ready. We'll then reconsider your proposal as part of our Ideas & Themes Process. Thank you!

What are the guidelines for submitting a new idea? 

Good news though -- part of your request is already aligned to a Theme! If you feel that there is something that goes beyond the description of this existing idea, keep that in mind as you edit this thread. 🙂

Hi @AkwasiOpoku-Dak , Thank you for submitting an idea!  

There is an article in our knowledge on How do I set a default grade for an assignment in the Gradebook,  would this help you to assign full credit to assign a grade to all students as proposed?

[MPioRoda]

Thanks for the clarification, @AkwasiOpoku-Dak , and sorry for the confusion.  Would your idea align with these already posted ideas?

If so, I can have the community team merge them together.

Thanks!
