When manually grading quizzes, you can either grade a quiz per attempt or grade a quiz per question.

Grade each attempt individually

1. Click on Course Admin and select Quizzes.
2. In the drop down menu of the quiz to be graded, select Grade.
   
3. Head over to Attempts.
4. All attempts made by each student are displayed. Click on attempt 1 to open the quiz attempt in full-screen mode.
   
5. All responses to the quiz are now shown and the grade can be added or changed. The feedback given can be saved as a draft or published.
   While evaluating a quiz attempt with unevaluated questions, you can filter for only the questions for which manual evaluation is required (such as written response questions). You can do this by selecting Pending evaluations in the Question View drop-down menu.For quizzes that contain questions that need to be manually scored (such as written response questions) and that have the “Allow attempt to be set as graded immediately upon completion” option disabled, a Pending Evaluation status appears on the Grade Quiz page. The users’ tab can also be filtered by this status. The other available filters are: Published, Saved as draft and an empty status. The empty status denotes a quiz with auto-scored questions, where all questions are evaluated and there is no question evaluation pending.
6. After evaluating, select the forward chevron to see the next student attempt.
   
7. Click on Save and Close to save all feedback and grades and go back to all student attempts.

Grade each question individually

1. Follow the step-by-step approach of the section above up to point 2.
2. Click on Questions.
   
   
3. From here, you can grade the students’ submissions for a particular question individually by selecting Grade individual responses.
   
4. You can also grade all submissions from all students at once for that question only by pressing Update all attempts, this might be handy if you made a mistake in the formulation of that question and want to hand out compensatory points for that question only.

Within the Grade Quiz option, all attempts including retaken attempts can be reviewed and graded.

2. In the drop down menu of the quiz to be graded, select Grade.
