Can you set grading up on Quizzes to give more points for finishing faster?

I'd like to award students bonus points for finishing more quickly on quizzes (e.g. taking 2 minutes on a 4 minute quiz). Can that be done...?

Not directly, automatically, or easily.

I'm writing this about Legacy Quizzes, but New Quizzes doesn't have anything that would allow for this either.

You can adjust the fudge points on a quiz to change the points, but this must be done manually. You can also create a separate assignment to hold the bonus points, but make it worth a possible 0 points.

Without getting into writing a script to download the information, you would need to go to the Quiz Moderation page to see how long each student took. That only has resolution to the nearest minute, which is okay for a 4 minute quiz, but I sometimes get stuff like "finished in about 1 hour," which isn't so helpful for longer quizzes.

Thanks for the info...I was afraid this was the case. Ahh well.....
