Quick Tip: Using Fudge Points to Fix a Gradebook Bug

Posted: April 7, 2020 | Last Modified: January 25, 2024

On occasion, a student may report that they submitted a quiz and received a grade, but their score isn’t recorded in Grades. Luckily, this bug is easy to fix using these steps:

  1. Confirm that the student submitted a quiz and received a grade in the quiz itself by going to SpeedGrader.
  2. Give the student a fudge point and click update.
  3. Remove the fudge point and click update.
  4. Refresh the grades tab (it won’t auto-refresh) and check that the correct score is recorded in the grades tab.

If you would prefer to have us perform these steps, please email bizhelp@uwec.edu with the name of the student, the quiz name, and your course’s name. It would be helpful to include a link to your course or to the specific quiz.
