Quizzes - Additional correct answers POST initial grading of an examination in MyCourses

This article guides faculty using MyCourses on how to include an additional correct response in a quiz. This valuable feature plays a crucial role in preserving assessment accuracy and strengthening their alignment with defined learning objectives.

Note: After an exam has been completed, students sometimes question why a particular option is the wrong answer. They frequently provide evidence to support their position, and occasionally we find that their arguments are valid. Therefore, we decide to give credit for both answers on the quiz. This method provides an easy way to give some credit for the answer without going through each person’s exam manually to see what they answered.

Note: This can also be used to create a grading curve.
