Maximum grade
The quiz's Maximum grade is the quiz's point contribution towards the course. In
this example, the quiz is worth 10 points towards the student's total for the course.
The grade for each question will be scaled to the quiz's Maximum grade. For
example, if this quiz had five questions worth 1 point each, but the Maximum
grade is 10, then each question will contribute 2 points to the student's total grade
for the course.
Grade for each question
Each question has a point value. The question's point value is scaled to the quiz's
Maximum grade. For example, if a question has a grade of 2, and the quiz has a
maximum value of 10, then that question is worth one-fifth of the quiz's grade.
In the preceding example, you can see that the maximum grade for the quiz is 10,
and the grade for the question is 1. However, this is a matching question, with four
choices. We would probably make this question worth 4 points, so that each correct
match is worth 1 point.
