Moving completed quizzes that are in Assignments to Quizzes

How do I move a quiz that lives in Assignments to Quizzes? My quizzes somehow ended up in the wrong place, and not only is it visually distracting, student scores are not appearing in Grades.

Here's the deal: In Canvas, the term "Assignments" refers to two different things:

1. A particular kind of graded task in which the student submits an answer in a text entry box or uploads a file AND
2. Anything that receives a grade (i.e. Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes)

As an instructor, you are going to see every graded item in your Gradebook listed under Assignments. 

Why does Canvas do this?  Because every graded item shows up in Assignments, the instructor is able to put all of the graded items into "Assignment Groups" and then "weight" the Groups for grading.
