Offering the option of partial credit on categorization and sorting questions for instructors to select

[KLS2003]

I am a student and in one course I am currently taking we have quizzes where the categorization and sorting style questions are used. One thing the instructor and students have noticed is this type of question does not have the option to receive partial credit for partially correct answers. As a student this is frustrating because other styles of questions reward partial credit whereas this type marks the entire question wrong even if the student has selected some correct answers. Is it possible to offer partial credit as an option for instructors to select on these questions so that faculty does not have to go back in manually and award it? This would allow for a better reflection of the students' knowledge in their grades and save faculty time who are manually awarding the partial credit.

Hey @KLS2003 !

Nice to see you involved in the Canvas Community.  While several of the question types in New Quizzes do have partial credit options that instructors are able to adjust, Categorization and Sequencing question types do not currently appear to have the ability to adjust for partial points.  There are actually numerous posts in the Community relating to partial credit for these question types and I believe that it is on the radar for the people that decide and make those changes.  Fingers crossed that it could happen soon.
