Autosubmitted Homework - Unable to Grade

[kansingkar3]

Hello,

I have created some homework assignments that include both multiple choice questions as well as free response. This requires me to manually grade the last question, therefore manually enter the grade. I had originally made the deadline for the homework assignments April 21st at 11:59 pm. On the morning of April 21st, the professor decided that we should give students a few extra days. I changed the deadline immediately to April 24th at 11:59 pm. However, I believe some students' uncompleted homework assignments were still autosubmitted at 11:59 on April 21st, despite me having changed the deadline. Due to this, I have several submissions in which all the multiple choice questions are completed, but the free response questions are blank and have no answer. What is even weirder is that some of these students had submitted their homework ahead of time and had already received full scores of 100%. Canvas is now not letting me input their original 100% score into the gradebook. Whatever I try, it still prompts me to grade their incomplete work. When I try to input their original 100% score into the "new submission", it does not work. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks,

A slightly stressed TA

Hi Koyal,

Once a student starts accessing a quiz, any edits done to the quiz don't affect that attempt.  So if you change the Until date after they had started it's still going to close them down at the original date.  This is also try for questions.  Lets say you create a quiz with no questions (just getting it ready) and Publish it.  Student A sees the quiz and clicks on it to start; seeing no questions.  You come back later and finish work on the quiz by adding the questions.  Student A comes back to take it and they still see no questions.  This is because it's still delivering the same exam they started.  In this cases the student would need to submit it and start again to get the edited version.  And the quiz would need to be set to allow multiple attempts. 

I share that explanation because I think that is why some were auto-submitted and it also could explain why some have the 100%; if all of the questions were not there initially when they began.

At any rate, if you ever have questions that need to be manually graded you will need to go in through speedgrader and grade them.  I don't believe simply adding 100% to the gradebook is going to work because the quiz still sees some questions as being ungraded.
