The D2L Quiz tool has many automated grading features, especially for multiple choice and true-false questions, but short-essay, written response questions will need to be graded manually. Instructors may also need to add comments and adjust scores on individual questions, even on those that are graded automatically. This page describes how to grade a quiz or exam on D2L.
Before reading the information on this page, consider reading the following pages first:
Create a D2L quiz or exam, includes instructions for connecting quizzes and exams to the D2L Gradebook.

Create an Exam Review Session so students can review their answers and view instructor comments.

Click the question mark icon next to the student's score.
In the popup window, select the exam attempt you would like to grade from the drop-down menu (ex. Attempt 1 or Attempt 2).

Assigning Scores and Comments to Specific Questions
Assigning Scores and Comments to Specific Questions
Question details include the text of the question and the student's response.
For automatically-graded questions (such as multiple choice and true-false), you'll see the student's response, the correct answer, and the student's score.
For manually-graded questions (such as written response and short answer), you'll see only the question text and the student's response. You'll have to assign a score - it will be blank.
Assign a score or adjust the score as needed.
Provide a comment or feedback for the specific question in the Feedback box.
When you have completed reviewing and scoring all questions, click "Update" at the bottom.
Remember that instructors need to setup an Exam Review Session that allows students to see question feedback in order for students to read the instructor's comments. By default, students see only their score, no comments.
