We are hoping to add an option for partial credit with no penalty.  This way students are not penalized for marking a wrong answer AND not marking a correct answer.

@cherireznicek - If you are wanting that feature added to classic quizzes, it won't happen.  There are no modifications or changes that will be made for classic quizzes as Canvas has moved to New Quizzes.  New Quizzes I believe can do what you want.  However, New Quizzes has its own pitfalls that classic quizzes does not.  Fortunately, New quizzes is getting better.

The only help I can provide is to look at James's script called Quiz-Wiz.  It may do what you want(maybe not totally, but partially).  The script requires the use of tampermonkey and instructions are available for it on his blog page which I am providing a link to.  I use this script and it is a definite need if you are still using classic quizzes (it does not work with new quizzes)

James explained a few months why he decided against adding such a feature to quiz wiz (I didn't reread it now, but from what I recall it's because this incentives students just choosing every option and they'd get full points). 

Check his answer here:
