Can't select complete/incomplete when marking

[JessGrocott]

Hi,

I've been setting a lot of my quizzes as complete/incomplete tasks. I can mark them and comment but for some reason it doesn't allow me to select complete/incomplete (see photo). When my students go in to view their marks they can see a big 'x'. I can manually override this and put a tick but it is time consuming. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Hello @JessGrocott 

Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. You're doing this with graded quizzes? Not surveys, ungraded, assignments, etc. ? Normally if it is for quizzes, it is going to be automatic. If the student completes it (even a single question T/F quiz) it will mark it as complete. If they do not submit the graded quiz it will stay as incomplete. If it is not functioning like this with those settings, you may want to contact Canvas Support directly. There are also others who have been looking for solutions in a similar fashion:

Hey!

So, if you're using the New Quizzes, I think I've discovered a workaround for this that doesn't require too much customization:

Note: this only works if you don't care if the initial submission for students is "Incomplete".

1. Make sure the quiz is set to manually grade (in the gradebook).
2. According to this issue, Canvas grades new quizzes such that (points_earned / points_possible) * quiz_value. So, if that first quantity is zero, we have Incomplete. If it's anything other than zero, we have Complete.
3. To evaluate, just scroll to the bottom, and adjust the Fudge Points. You can score the other questions as you like (e.g., for feedback purposes), but you don't have to. If you want "Incomplete", adjust the fudge points such that the Final Score is zero, and if you want "Complete", just adjust the fudge points so that it is greater than zero.

   That seems to work for me!
