Adding/Editing a Quiz

1.3. Grade

Grade category

If you have categories in your gradebook, select the one you wish the quiz to be in here.

Attempts allowed

Students may be allowed to have multiple attempts at a quiz. This can help make the process of taking the quiz more of an educational activity rather than simply an assessment. If the quiz is randomized then the student will get a new version for each attempt. This is useful for practice purposes.

Note: You can change the allowed number of attempts for different groups or users in the Group or User override sections of the Quiz Administration settings block.

Grading method

When multiple attempts are allowed, there are different ways you can use the grades to calculate the student's final grade for the quiz.

• Highest grade - the final grade is the highest (best) grade in any attempt
• Average grade - the final grade is the average (simple mean) grade of all attempts
• First grade - the final grade is the grade earned on the first attempt (other attempts are ignored)
• Last grade - the final grade is the grade earned on the most recent attempt only
