[ARCHIVED] Exclude a Quiz grade

How to exclude a quiz from being counted as part of the overall grade?

Hello,  @bjadunath  !  Find the quiz that you don't want to count, and edit it.  Underneath the directions should be a box that says, "Do not count towards final grade".  Click this button and save.

The ability to "not count towards final grade" is only an option with New Quizzes.

If you're using classic quizzes with a weighted gradebook, you can create an assignment group worth 0% of the grade and then put the quiz into that assignment group.

I had luck doing this for old quizzes through the API:

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer xxxx" -X PUT --data 'assignment[omit_from_final_grade]=true' 'https://<canvas_url>/api/v1/courses/<course_id>/assignments/<assignment_id>'

(you need the assignment ID, not the quiz ID, which you can find a few ways -- it's buried in the response of https://<canvas_url>/api/v1/courses/<course_id>/quizzes/<quiz_id>, for example, if you search 'assignment_id')
