How do I grade a New Quizzes quiz question one at a time in SpeedGrader?

You can grade individual New Quizzes questions using SpeedGrader. Most quiz items are graded automatically after a student submits the quiz. However, essay and file upload questions must be graded manually.

Notes:

  • Quizzes that pull questions from an item bank will shuffle the order of questions for each student. Question order for each submission may vary within SpeedGrader.
  • If you are using Classic Quizzes, learn how to grade one quiz question at a time.
