Add assessments to a quiz

On the Assessment tab > Assessment area, do any of the following:

  1. To grade quiz attempts immediately, select the Allow attempt to be set as graded immediately upon completion check box. This setting must be turned on for grades to be automatically sent to the grade book, and for the default submission view to be released to users when they complete an attempt.
    Note: When this setting is turned on users can see their score as soon as they submit their attempt. The score displayed is only for the question types the system can auto-grade. Written Response questions are marked as 0 until manually graded. Quiz attempts with questions that require manual grading display the status Pending Evaluation, and instructors can also filter for questions by Pending Evaluation status within a quiz.
  2. Select an existing numeric grade item or click Add grade item to create a new grade.
  3. If a grade item is associated with the quiz, you can set quiz results to automatically export to the grade book by selecting the Allow automatic export to grades check box.
    Note: If the Allow attempt score to be seen immediately upon completion check box is not selected, you must set attempts as marked in the Grade Quiz page to populate the grade book with attempt scores.
  4. To edit how the quiz grade appears to learners, from the Student View Preview drop-down menu, select either Points Grade (default), Grade Scheme Symbol, and/or Grade Scheme Color.
    Note: To select options, select the Override display options for this item check box. Make your selections and click Save.
  5. To enable learners to send their quiz results to their Brightspace ePortfolio, select the Allow users to add the result of this quiz to their ePortfolio check box.
  • On the Assessment tab > Attempts area, do any of the following:
    1. Set how many attempts a learner can make on a quiz.
    2. To allow learners to only retake incorrect questions, select the On new attempts, only allow answers for previously incorrect questions check box.
    3. If the number of attempts allowed is greater than 1, you must determine how the final grade is calculated. From the Overall Grade Calculation drop-down menu, select one of the following options:
      • Highest attempt - Only the attempt with the highest grade is used as the final grade.
      • Lowest attempt - Only the attempt with the lowest grade is used as the final grade.
      • Average of all attempts - The average of the grades on all attempts is calculated and used as the final grade.
      • First attempt - Only the grade on the first attempt is used as the final grade.
      • Last attempt - Only the grade on the last attempt is used as the final grade.
      • If the number of attempts allowed is greater than 1, an optional feature under Advanced Attempt Conditions allows you to determine minimum and/or maximum scores that must be achieved by the learner to obtain the additional attempts.
        Note: If you enter a minimum score, then learners must achieve that set minimum score to receive the subsequent attempt. For example, if you only want learners who receive greater than 50% to receive a subsequent attempt, you can enter that value in the Min % field.
        If you enter a maximum score, then learners can achieve up to that limit to receive subsequent attempts, but not greater than that limit. For example, if you only want learners who receive below 80% on the quiz to receive an additional attempt, you can enter that value in the Max % field.
    4. Click Save and Close.
