Rescore Assignments That Have a Changed Question
If you need to change a question that you have already scheduled in an assignment — for example, to correct your answer or allow alternative correct responses — rescore assignments containing the question after you save it. For LMS-integrated courses, a rescore also syncs scores to your LMS. Rescoring is faster than a manual sync because it syncs only the rescored assignments.
Open Student View
When you create a course or assignment, you can mimic the student experience by opening the Student View. This is a great way to review your course and test its assignments.
