How do I grade a New Quizzes quiz question one at a time in SpeedGrader with Performance and Usability Upgrades?
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, you can grade one quiz question at a time.
- 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 a New Quizzes quiz question one at a time in SpeedGrader?
