Canvas: Regrading a Classic Quiz

Regrading a Classic Quiz in Canvas

When to Regrade

Do not regrade a quiz until all students have completed and submitted the quiz. Please consult with the Centre for Teaching and Learning before regrading.

  • If you accidentally published a quiz that needs to be corrected, and students have already attempted it, you can use quiz regrade to edit existing quiz questions and tell Canvas to recalculate student grades.
  • Quiz regrade only applies to specific question types (Multiple choice, True/False, and Multiple Answers).
  • Adding, removing, or changing point values for a quiz question does not initiate a Canvas regrade for past quiz attempts. If you have edited your quiz in one of these three ways, you should moderate the quiz and let students retake it. This only applies if students have taken the quiz and existing questions have been altered.

Restrictions:

  • The quiz regrade option does not work for questions that are linked to a question bank, as these questions could be used in multiple quizzes. We recommend creating question groups such that the questions list in the quiz - See Creating Question Groups.
  • Deleting or adding answer options to quiz questions that have already been answered by students does not give you the option to regrade those questions.
