How can I correct a Canvas grading error?

[lajcalla]

I have a Categorization item on a quiz. There are two categories and ten items to drag into the correct categories.

A student who took the quiz correctly categorized nine of the ten items. One item was categorized incorrectly.

When Canvas graded the quiz, the student received zero points.

Is this a known Canvas error?

Hi @lajcalla 

Not all question types give partial credit.  Currently, I believe it is only Matching, Fill-In-The-Blank and Multiple Answer.  See https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/New-Quizzes-Resources/FAQ-New-Quizzes/ta-p/243540#toc-hId-9744258...

I have this question too.  I was delighted to format the Categories quiz type to suite the needs of a quiz for my students, only to discover after all the work that marks are only awarded for completely correct categorization of answers! 

Come on Canvas this is not good enough.  The whole point is to give part-credit for those correctly categorized.

So I am stuck with T/F and Multiple Choice questions. 

No a happy camper here Canvas!
