I just tried, and was not
able to “force” the Hand Grade parameter to show up for one of my quiz questions, so I’m not sure if it is possible.</span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;">If not, perhaps you could set a code in one of the other parameters. It would be a bit kludgy, but what if you set the score to 150 instead of somewhere in the 0-100 range to “flag” those problems? When you
download the grades to a spreadsheet you could sort them by score. Any 150’s would be at the top so you would know which ones to hand grade. This is not a great solution, and hopefully someone will have a better idea, but if not, since they are rare perhaps
something like that could work…</span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;">Best regards,</span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span><br></p><div><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;">Gene L.
