What & Why
What & Why
The Quizzes tool enables you to create and manage points-measured assessments. Quizzes can have auto-graded questions (e.g., multiple-choice) and or manually graded questions (e.g., fill-in-the-blank, essay). You can manually grade questions in the quiz using the Grade by Question feature.
Once you receive completed quizzes from learners, you can view quiz statistics such as grade distribution, grade average, question statistics, and user statistics on the Statistics page. Review these statistics for a future course or test modifications.
Note: You cannot delete a question after a student has taken the quiz. Ensure every question is correct and the points in the quiz match the points in Grades beforehand.

Grade by Multiple Instructors/TAs
Grade by Multiple Instructors/TAs
If the Brightspace course has multiple users (Instructors/TAs, etc) grading the quizzes by question:
It defaults to saying that the person who graded that individual question for every student is the last instructor/TA to grade any of the student responses to that individual question.
EX: if Jenean grades Question #4 for a few students, then Pam comes in to grade Question #4 for a few different students, all of the responses to Question #4 will now say they were graded by Pam.
Only one person (Instructor/TA, etc) should grade an individual question at exactly the same time. Brightspace will let more than one Instructor/TA open the same question and same student responses at the same time (on different device, for example), but it only saves the Scores/Feedback from whichever Instructor/TA SAVES 1st!!!

When a learner is taking an online quiz the quiz becomes an "attempt in progress." If the learner fails to submit the quiz the learner's quiz remains an "attempt in progress" and the Brightspace system shows no submission or grade.
Instructors can search for "attempt in progress" quiz results and then submit the attempt for a user as necessary.
