Extra Credit
- Add extra points to an existing Assignment - 45/40
- Fudge Points (add/remove points) from a Classic & New Quiz - via Speedgrader
Note: If you want to adjust points for a specific question within the quiz, you may want to use the quiz regrade feature.
Quiz regrade only works with specific quiz question types (MC, T/F, and MA) and only applies to students who have already taken the quiz. Adding or removing a question does not trigger the quiz regrade feature. Additionally, changing the point value for a quiz question also does not trigger a quiz regrade; the student's submitted quiz will show the updated point value, but the current grade won't change in the Gradebook. If you have edited your quiz in one of these three ways, you should moderate the quiz and let the student retake the quiz.
