Partial Credit on Categorization and Ordering Questions

[arnold_cassie]

I found posts regarding this from WAYYYY back in 2018, and they've been marked "completed" because you implemented partial credit for the matching questions, but the categorization and ordering questions STILL don't allow for partial credit 5 years later. I would like to set this up at the beginning of a quiz, not retroactively award the points, because for younger kids (elementary and middle school), seeing the lower grade at the beginning can be problematic. I was told this was on the road map years ago, but it still hasn't happened, so I wanted to post something to make sure it is still in your preview since the other discussion boards regarding this subject are closed and wouldn't let me add to them.

Hello @arnold_cassie 

There will be improved grading capabilities coming soon and there's some general outlining in the roadmap:

However, there's nothing explicitly stated regarding categorization grading for partial credit.

Feel free to check out the Ideas and Themes forum as Canvas implements great ideas such as this that they find within the community.

I teach college and find the need for partial credit on categorization and ordering on every test I make.

I agree it is needed.

We have lab tech instructors who want to use both to order the tube colors properly and then to categorize the microscope reading with the correct conclusion. 

As soon as they found out there was no partial credit, we started over using other (non-helping) question types.
