Essay Questions in New Quizzes

[cduke]

When there is an essay question in a Classic Quiz, I get a notification in my to do list that the assessment requires grading and the 'notepaper' icon shows up in the gradebook instead of a score.  

Why do the new quizzes not do this, or is there a way to make them?  I honestly forget which ones have questions I need to grade and which ones do not.  There is also no way to tell which students I have graded already and which I have not.

Hello @cduke, the need you articulated is the focus of an Idea Conversation:

• New Quizzes should not *automatically* grade written responses  

With luck, more 5-star ratings and comments there will help to make the case for this much-needed feature.
