Moodle Quiz

Option 1: Viewing and Grading All Student Responses

Faculty can view and score all student responses for a single question using the manual grading feature.  This is the most efficient process for scoring student essay questions in Moodle Quiz. 

Step 1: Click on the Quiz title in the course on Edit mode and then click on Results in the menu.

Step 2:  Once viewing the Quiz , click on Grades the dropdown menu and select Manual grading.

Step 3:  To manually grade responses for a question, click the grade all  or grade link as appropriate. 

The grading attempts screen will display every student response for the selected question.  Scroll down to review each question response. 

Step 4: If desired, enter question level feedback text in the Comment field. 

Note: In order for students to see your comments, students must be allowed to see both their Attempt and Specific feedback as set in the Quiz Review Options settings.  See step 13 of the Quiz setup guide for the location of these settings. 

Step 5: Enter your assigned score in the Points field. 

Tip: You can enter partial credit in the Points field ( .5, .75, etc.).

Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each student response as appropriate.

Step 6: Scroll down and click Save and show next when finished. 

Once finished, you will return to the grading screen.  Grading information will now be updated based on your saved scores for each question. 

Click Update grades to change scoring for a question or repeat Steps 3-6  to score next question number in the list. 

Option 2: Scoring an Individual Student Response

Faculty can manually score individual question responses through the grader report.  This is only recommended when a small number of responses need manual scoring. For bulk manual grading, follow the process outlined under option 1 of this resource. 

Step 1: Click on the Quiz title in the course.

Step 2:  Click the attempts link or select Grades from the drop-down menu.

Note: The attempts link only appears once students have submitted a quiz attempt. 

Step 3:  In the student response table, locate the appropriate student submission needing review and click Requires grading. 

Once the question has been scored, the table will update and calculate the total grade for the student quiz submission.
