How to Grade a New Quiz

Next to the quiz score, select the icon of a rectangle with an arrow pointing right
From the right sidebar, you can change the status of the selected assignment to Late, Missing, or Excused
You may also add a comment that will be visible to the student from their Grades page.
To score the New Quiz, select SpeedGrader

This summary includes a note of questions that need to be manually scored.
