Quizzes

In the Quizzes tool, you can hide the point value for all questions in a quiz. This may ensure students focus on all questions equally, without inferring the number of correct answers based on point value. This feature may be useful in scenarios like knowledge checks where the purpose is to gauge understanding rather than focus on scoring.

This option is OFF by default. You may check the 'Hide question point values' box to turn it on for a quiz.
