[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher and NP here. As someone else explained, this is simply the way quizzes work in Canvas. It autogrades what it can when the student submits the quiz, and then the teacher needs to grade free-responses. There are also some question types that the teacher might give partial credit on (categorizing, ordering) or might choose to do partial credit differently than Canvas default. For a newly created quiz, sometimes the correct answer wasn’t set correctly (happens to me sometimes when I copy and modify a question), or it turns out that a question was unexpectedly unclear for students and the teacher wants to throw it out. In the cases, the teacher can make the correction with an instruction on how to rescore and then automatically regrade all the quizzes.

For all of these reasons, I do not show the grades tab in Canvas, make the grade a manual posting (instead of automatic as I finish grading), and always turn off showing the score and any results to students. HS students know how this works. I can announce before and after the quiz that scores aren’t final until I grade and push them to Synergy/StudentVue. I will still have students hunt down the one place they can hover over the assignment link to show a tooltip with  xx/20 points, and then anxiously come to ask me about why they failed.  :roll:  [b]I usually respond with telling them to think about why that question is so ridiculous and sit back down[/b]. I have no problems supporting students about real matters, but I can’t help them when they are going out of their way to create problems that don’t actually exist.[/quote]

I have a smart kid who is super anxious.  She's one of the ones who would come to ask you.  Hopefully, you are kind to her.  I rather a student ask about their grades than not care.  But for students who are just a little on edge, maybe some empathy.[/quote]
