Change the point value of answers

Updated 19 Feb 2024

You can change the point value assigned to a question in three ways: when you add the question to an activity, when you edit the question, or when you assign the activity to students.

1. Do one of the following:
   • Create an activity.
   • Click Course Materials or Assignment Calendar, locate the activity, and select Edit from its options menu.
   • Click Set Point on an assigned question's options menu. Note that this option does not appear for all question types.
2. On the Questions page, locate the question for which you want to change point values, and click the down arrow in the Options column to its right.
3. Click Add Score and Feedback or Add Answer, whichever appears on the page.
4. In the Score or Score for correct answer column, enter a new point value for the answer. Changing the point value here changes the question's point value in the Question Library as well as for any assignment that includes the question.
5. Change the point values of any other answers, as needed, for this question or other questions in the activity.
6. When you finish editing the activity, click Save and Close.
