Survey, Quiz, and Test pages have the option to be automatically graded (by default), or manually graded. When automatically graded, objective-type questions (e.g., multiple choice, true/false, etc.) will be graded and count towards the final assessment grade. Subjective-type questions (e.g., open-ended, essay, etc.) will be submitted as part of the assessment, but will not be graded, nor count towards the final assessment grade.
When manual grading is enabled, you can grade all question types within these assessments, not just multiple choice and true/false. When enabled, after completing the assessment, the learner is navigated to a display of the questions and submitted answers, rather than a results page.
The assessment is then graded by an administrator in the Grading tab of the admin interface. Once the assessment is graded, the learner is emailed with a link to the results page to view the grade and any comments from the grader. At this point, the learner can then retake the assessment (if allowed).
