How do I give students a choice of questions to answer in an assessment?

Article

In Tests & Quizzes, you can create an assessment with several manually-graded questions (short answer/essay, file upload, or student audio response questions), where students answer some of them for full credit.

To accomplish this, you will need to distribute the total points desired among the essay questions you include in the assessment. Then, hide the questions' point values from students while they are taking the assessment so they will not be confused about where the points will be going. When grading, you can enter the points for the questions each student answered.

How can an instructor retrieve assessments that were saved but not submitted?

If they do not click the final Submit for Grading button to confirm, and the assessment is NOT timed, their responses may be saved, but the assessment will remain In Progress.
