The Quiz re-grade feature is available for instructors to change quiz questions after students have already completed the quiz. Regrading only applies to completed submissions. If all students will be affected by the regrade, please wait for all submissions before regrading.
Adding a Question or Increasing the Total Number of Points for a Quiz
Instructors can add questions without being prompted by the re-grade feature. Once a question is added and the quiz is saved, students who have already taken the exam will not have their quiz automatically re-graded. The same will occur if the total points for each question have been increased.
However, please note that when changes are made to a quiz, a lightning bolt icon will temporarily replace their grade in the cell in the Gradebook. In SpeedGrader, there is a note at the top of the quiz attempt: “The quiz has changed significantly since this submission was made. This submission may need re-grading.” This means that the quiz needs to be reviewed for possible re-grading.
To correct students’ grades for these questions, Fudge Points must be added.
Add Fudge Points to a Quiz in SpeedGrader
- Scroll to the bottom of the quiz attempt in SpeedGrader.
- Set the number of Fudge Points to be added to the student’s quiz score.
- Click the Update Scores button.
- The lightning bolt icon in the Gradebook will be replaced with the student’s quiz score.
Re-Grade Feature and Question Banks
The Quiz Re-Grade feature does not affect question groups that have been directly linked to question banks. If a quiz is linked to a question bank and the questions/answers in the question bank are altered, a re-grade option is not available. Any changes to students’ grades must be made through SpeedGrader and will not be done automatically.
If a quiz is linked to a question bank and the instructor later changes from one question bank to another, a re-grade option is not available. Like the above scenario, any changes to students’ grades must be made through SpeedGrader.
