New Quizzes: Downloadable per-question quiz results
After using Canvas quizzes for a few midterms, I made an attempt to review my students' results. I was shocked to learn that the results aren't reported in any sort of raw format. This is especially true of free response questions, which frequently don't show up in the Item Analysis report. What's more, the results that are reported are aggregated in a way that is not only unclear (does "Students who scored in the top 27%" mean that the students scored in the 73rd percentile or that they got at least 73% of the possible points?) but also not useful. Even simple analyses like mean, median, low, and high score for each question are impossible with this bizarre aggregation. Without this information, I cannot assess how well my students are learning the material being tested, nor how well I am teaching it.
