So, James' suggestion is correct: I use Multiple Answers questions from Classic Quizzes all the time. But it's a bit harsh on how it grades: If my students correctly select 2 answers that are correct, and incorrectly select 2 more answers that they thought were correct (but they were wrong), Canvas nets them a zero score for the question. I would so much like to tweak this algorithm, to just be nicer to my students. Like they get double the points for a correctly-selected correct answer than they get dinged for an incorrectly-selected answer. Or even that they gain no points for incorrectly-selected choices, but they don't get points actually taken away. That's really harsh.

The default Canvas quiz grading algorithm is kinda harsh. Students lose as much points for incorrectly choosing an answer that was incorrect as they receive for choosing an answer that was correct. So they get one right and one wrong and they net a zero. Can you make this algorithm flexible so instructors can tweak it? For example, I would want to change that so students get only half wrong for wrong answers vs. right for right answers.

Please change your code to tie Quiz Imports to the Quiz Name, rather than some hidden Quiz ID.
The issue is the users want to import Quizzes from a previous course to the next course. But then when we import something larger, like a Module, it will overwrite the new quiz even after we have invested substantial work on the new quiz. As users, we only have control over the Quiz Name. So if we've bothered to rename the new Quiz, Canvas should follow suit and assign it a different Quiz ID. Please change it so Canvas follows the Users lead on Quiz imports, rather than overwriting the User's wishes and destroying the hours we've invested in changing the quizzes.
