Grading a Quiz

Some quiz questions can be set up to be graded automatically by D2L, including multiple-choice, true/false, multi-select, and matching. More qualitative questions, like written response, must be graded manually. 

There are two options for grading quizzes: 

• By Student Attempt: To grade an entire quiz for one student at a time.
• By Question: To grade one question for one student at a time.
