Evaluate learners without grading

Question

I am new to Canvas and I am trying to create a self-evaluation question for learners when they enter the course. I have created a quizz and set the score to 0 but as you can see in the screenshot, I have to select one correct answer, whereas in this scenario, there is no correct answer.

Thanks for your help.

for New Quizzes, probably what I would do is the new quiz grade type to "Complete/Incomplete" and set the questions worth zero points. That way, the quiz will be worth zero when they take it, and not count against them. this is the closest thing I can think of when it comes to new quizzes.

Hope this helps!

Hi @Adminteam

If you don't want the questions to have right or wrong answers, the simplest thing to do is to create a survey instead of a quiz.  See https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-survey-in-my-course/ta-p/782

Hi @Adminteam ,

Is this a Classic Quiz or a New Quiz? I don't use quizzes, but there is a way to set different point values for different answers. So you could set up the question so that an answer of "0 years" earns 0 points, "over a year" earns 1 point, "some concepts" earns 2 points, and "more than 3 years" earns 3 points. This feature might be available only in New Quizzes; I'm not sure.

[ETA: If you're using Classic Quizzes, there might be a way to do it as a Survey instead.]

Setting different point values per answer would allow you to see exactly what experience each user has.

Be sure to select "Do not count this assignment towards the final grade" since it is not an actual assignment.
