Extra Credit Questions
Use the Extra Credit option to give points to students that get a question correct. Students that have the wrong response will not lose any points for extra credit. Extra credit can be applied to questions on an assignment key before or after student responses have been collected. If there are already collected assignments, student scores will be recalculated to account for the extra credit applied to the selected questions.
