New Quiz Evaluation Experience

The New Quiz Evaluation Experience features the option to Manually Grade Quiz Attempts. This offers a similar evaluation experience to Assignments and Discussions, promoting a consistent and familiar experience for instructors. The quiz evaluation experience presents you with a two-panel view to easily Score questions and provide question Feedback on the left and review the overall Attempt Grade and Attempt Feedback on the right.
