New Quizzes: Partial Credit for Matching Questions

[yoderr]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

---

In new quizzes, there needs to be the ability to award partial credit for matching questions. At the current moment, it is either all or nothing. I know you can "fudge" points at the end, but we need the ability to make each matching item worth points.

I can't believe this has been a topic since 2018!  Is there an update on if or when they will put partial grading for matching in New Quizzes?  It was so frustrating when we found out it wasn't giving partial credit.

I keep checking back, I can't believe this feature hasn't been added. I rarely use categorize, matching, etc., because I will have to go through and hand-grade to award partial credit. FIX THIS, CANVAS!

Wow, really? 2 years and this basic thing still hasn't been addressed? Canvas needs to fix this. I'm definitely not holding out hope for a regex previewer then.

Had a teacher today ask for this. I know that there are "work arounds" but this really should be something that we are talking about more directly. Hopefully, if we keep asking for it it will happen. 🙂

@KBThornton  it is on the roadmap for this year: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/The-Canvas-tl-dr/Quizzes-Planned-Priorities-and-Roadmap-2021/ba-p...

@Steven_S Thank you so much for sharing this. I am still figuring how to navigate the community and I find that I often over look things. 🙂

I understand that in some cases you might want to make these question types all-or-nothing, but there should definitely be an option to chose how Canvas calculates the partial credit. I concur that it needs to be available for multiple answer (which I think now you can do), matching, categorization, and ordering.

My Canvas just recently updated to the New Quizzes version. In the Old Quizzes with matching if I assigned 20 and the student got 14 correct it would give them 14 of the 20 points, If that was the assigned points that I placed on the matching. Now if they do not get every matching correct it gives them 0 points. Is there a way to fix this?

I am disappointed to see that this has been requested for 2 1/2 years and is still not fixed. Very disappointing.  This needs to be escalated and fixed very quickly.  Teachers are losing faith with new quizzes, which is a shame because there are so many great features with it.  Please make this a priority!!

It's also confusing to my students on "Multiple Answers" where a wrong answer cancels out their correct points.
