[New Quizzes] Delete quiz attempts

[ecastro]

When averaging quiz attempts or when using "latest score" for a quiz, it would be helpful if instructors could delete a quiz attempt by a student. If there is a glitch, an inaccurate/ incomplete attempt shouldn't be allowed to hurt the student's grade.

In the Moderate quiz screen, clicking on a student's name shows their attempts. When viewing an attempt, there can be a button to either delete/ remove the attempt, or to not count its results.

2022-07-12 -- After reviewing this long-existing idea, the Community Team has determined that this request will remain Open. While it was authored when only Classic Quizzes existed, the idea can be applied to New Quizzes as well. Ultimately, this will reduce the number of duplicated Idea requests and allow the conversation and collaboration to exist in a single space.

PLEASE add this feature

Yes, this is very important for technical issues to be able to delete attempts occasionally. Please make this happen soon!

Yes, please!! I have a student who started an optional retake but didn't finish, and the second attempt is hurting his score. I can't delete the attempt or change the grade in speedgrader to reflect the original score. This is a problem!

Yes, please add this feature. Technical issues are frequent, and a botched attempt b/c of a connectivity issue is not "historical information" in any useful way. On the contrary it adds needless labor for instructors (already overworked) who use the "average scores" grading option.

If it is philosophically important for some reason to retain a record of all attempts, then perhaps instead of "delete attempt" an option to "ignore attempt" would suffice.

FYI Blackboard/Courseweb has both "delete attempt" and "ignore attempt" options available to instructors.

You absolutely need to be able to delete quiz attempts and assignment submissions in Canvas.

This is an important feature!

Please add this feature. When the internet/wi-fi times out, which happens constantly these days, it is very frustrating for students who get a zero on a quiz and time consuming for teachers to readjust the student's attempts AND have to recalculate (aka "fudge") the grade stats to have a corrected score.
