Re-grading quiz questions post delivery

Important  If you need to correct or re-grade an automatically graded question type such as an MCQ or T/F please contact Health EDU 

This is particularly important if the questions have been delivered in a quiz already attempted by students.

There are a number of critical factors that need to be addressed as well as a few tips for the easy re-grading of all attempts of the question in one go.


Points to note:

  • There are a number different reasons a quiz question may need to be re-graded after attempts have been taken, for example:
    • the wrong option was marked as correct
    • more than one option could reasonably be deemed correct
    • the question or options were confusing/poorly written
    • the material wasn't covered in class
    • the material was taught differently between lecturers/campuses

  • While the re-grading process is not onerous it does not negate careful checking of questions pre-delivery especially as it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to make the changes equitable for all students.

  • When a question is corrected it needs to be updated in a number of places, namely:
    • the quiz
    • the question library
    • the question file with HEDU and the Unit Chair

  • Updating a question does not alter it for attempts already taken - the updated version however will be made available for any future attempts.

  • For the the original version of the questions it is possible to see statistics on:
    • how many attempts the question appeared in
    • how many students responded to the question (not all students will necessarily enter or save a response)
    • how many students chose which option.

  • For the the original version of the question is possible to re-grade so that:
    • any student who selected a particular option or options gains a point
    • any student who selected a particular option or options loses a point
    • any student who selected a particular option retains a point

  • When each question option is re-graded the overall quiz score and the grade item should automatically be updated (and notifcations sent to students where they have turned the option on).
