You can grade individual New Quizzes questions using SpeedGrader. Most quiz items are graded automatically after a student submits the quiz. However, essay and file upload questions must be graded manually.
Notes:
- Quizzes that pull questions from an item bank will shuffle the order of questions for each student. Question order for each submission may vary within SpeedGrader.
- If you are using Classic Quizzes, learn how to grade one quiz question at a time.
