Grade Posting Policy set to Manually Post Grades
If your Grade Posting Policy is set to manually release grades (in the Gradebook - this must be set BEFORE students take the quiz), students will not see their score or correct answers upon submitting the quiz, regardless of the quiz settings. They will see: “Your quiz has been muted. Your quiz score is unavailable because your instructor has not finished grading it. When your instructor finishes grading this quiz, your score will be available on this page.” To release results to your students, you will need to Post Grades in the Gradebook.
