How do I grade quiz questions in SpeedGrader with Performance and Usability Upgrades?

You can manually grade quiz questions in SpeedGrader with Performance and Usability Upgrades. Manual grading is required for essay and file upload questions, but you can also revise scores for automatically graded questions.

If you want to grade the same quiz question individually for each student, learn how to grade one quiz question at a time.

Notes:

  • Quizzes that pull questions from a question bank will shuffle the order of questions for each student. Question order for each submission may vary within SpeedGrader.
  • Quiz grading will not be marked as complete and notifications will not be sent to students until each question for the quiz includes an entered point value. If the value earned for the question is zero, the question must be manually changed from the default unscored value to a score of zero.
  • Currently, you can only access SpeedGrader through the Gradebook with New Quizzes.
  • When using a rubric with New Quizzes, make sure to grade the individual questions first before completing the rubric. If the rubric is graded first, updating the quiz scores will overwrite the rubric grade with the total of the question scores.
  • If the user interface displays differently than what is shown in this lesson, the Performance and Usability Upgrades for SpeedGrader feature option may have been disabled. For more information, refer to the guide: How do I grade quiz questions in SpeedGrader?
