Canvas essay questions

Canvas offers many types of questions including additional Formula and Simple Formula question options for requiring students to complete mathematical calculations. How do I create a Multiple Choice quiz question? How do I create a True/False quiz question?

Canvas allows you to grade quizzes using SpeedGrader. If you need to correct points at the quiz level (rather than an individual item) you may use the fudge points feature. If for some reason you find that you need to remove a question and regrade student responses accordingly, refer to the documentation on regrading quizzes.

You can create an essay question for your students. This question type requires manual grading. With the Questions tab [1] selected inside a new quiz, click the New Question button [2].
