This article will show instructors how to edit and regrade a quiz that has already been attempted by some students.  Once any student has attempted a quiz, you can not add any questions, but you can make a correction in the case that an incorrect answer had been set up as the correct one.  (You can also change the points for the question, if needed).  Once you edit the quiz to correct the answer issue, you must force a regrade so that the question is graded correctly.

1. To correct this issue from your course page on CampusNet, go to the Activities block and click Quizzes.  Find the quiz you need to correct and click the Attempts link on the right side.

2. On the Grades screen that comes up, be sure the "Attempts from" pull-down is set for "enrolled users who have attempted the quiz" then click the "Show report" button and scroll down to see the grades and results of each student's attempt.  

[Note:  If the quiz is set to allow multiple attempts, this page will have a setting for "show only attempts that were graded for each user", and you should click that checkbox and click the "Show report" button again.  This will take the uncompleted attempts out of the results].

3. Go to the question(s) which have the incorrect answer programmed, and click the grade results under that column for one of the students.  

4. In the pop-up window that appears, you will be able to see the response and the programmed answer.  If you confirm that the questions programmed answers are not correct, continue to the next steps to correct the problem

5. Close the pop-up window, and navigate to the quiz in either the Activities block or the week it is in, and click its name.  

Now click the settings gear at the right side and click "Edit quiz."

6. Click the name of the question that needs to be corrected and scroll down to the Answers section and find the incorrect grade settings.  Look over all the programmed answers and fix any that are incorrect.

7. When done, scroll to the bottom and click "Save changes."  This will also correct the answer for the question in the Question Bank.

8. Now go back to the Quiz and click it, then click the Attempts link again to see the report for "enrolled users who have attempted the quiz."  You will see that the student's correct answer is still marked as wrong.  This is because you need to do a Regrade of the attempts so that the correction is reflected in the grades.  Rather than clicking the "Regrade all" button, it is best to start by clicking the "Dry run a full regrade" at first to make sure the change you made is handled correctly in the grades before committing the change with "Regrade all."  After clicking the Dry run button, click the Continue button that follows to see the corrections.

9. After the Dry run, you will see that the old incorrect grade has been marked through and the new grade shown below it.  

If anything is still wrong, you can go back and correct it before committing the change with a regrade.  When it is correct, continue to the next step.

10, There are three methods that can be used to regrade:  the Regrade All button, the "Regrade attempts marked as needing regrading" button, and the selection method, where I can select some of the attempts and use the "Regrade selected attempts" button below the report.  It is suggested that you normally use the "Regrade attempts marked as needing regrading" method.

11. After that, click the Continue button to see the results.  The regrading is already done, but the first time you view this, the old crossed-out points are still there below the new points, which show green arrows for all correct answers, indicating the changes that were made.  The crossed-out grades will disappear when you click "Dry run" again.

12. Now as final confirmation, go to Grades in the left menu and select the Grader Report in the pull-down.  You should see that the students' grades are now scored correctly.
