[ARCHIVED] Don't Count Quiz Grade

[watsokk]

I gave a quiz, but I don't want it to calculate into the student's grade. I can't find anything that says don't calculate in grade. I looked at quiz information, and I can't find it there either. Does someone know who can help me please? Should I change it to a survey?

Is this just for one student or the whole class? If it's for the whole class, you can go to Assignments and move that specific quiz to a new category that is worth 0%.

It is for the whole class. I don't see a category for the quiz. I don't know how to create categories, only assignment groups. Are you referring to Infinite Campus? I know I can check a box on Infinite Campus to not count a grade into the student's final grade. I don't see to be able to have the option of scoring a quiz under Practice Quiz, and I need to be able to do award partial points. Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it!

I meant a new assignment group that is worth 0%. Any quizzes you place under that assignment group will not affect the students final grade.

Hi  @watsokk  

You could also make it a Practice Quiz, and then it won't even create a grade column in the gradebook.

So I tried toggling to practice quiz, but then I don't see a Speed Grader which allows me to adjust points. They are short answer questions, and I'm looking for key words. It ties in with my SLG, so I need to be able to score it. Is there a way to score a Practice Quiz?

Hi again,  @watsokk 

Unfortunately, no there isn't. There is a way to view student responses to the quizzes, but you cannot adjust the scores that they received. https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12908-4152182372 

Under your conditions, placing these quizzes into an assignment group with a value of zero would be the only way to accomplish what you need - it just makes your gradebook much more complex.

Alright, thank you all very much for your help!

Hi  @watsokk ‌,

 @kmeeusen ‌'s answer above is perfect. That's exactly what I would recomment you to do as well.
