Adding Extra Credit Questions To Assessments

I'd like to request that you find a way to make extra credit assessment questions work in assessments? I know I can have the "extra credit" option on the assignment itself, but I can't see a way to do it with questions in the assessment... Is there a way to accomplish this?

    Hi Folks -

    With today's release it is now possible to award more points than a question is worth. So, to create extra credit questions, you can add a question worth 0 points and then award the students any number of points, effectively giving them extra credit. In the future, we'll be looking into a way to automatically award these points but wanted to get the manual method in first.

    If you have any feedback or questions, feel free to reach out to me at michael.morrissette@blackbaud.com

    Another thing we would like is the ability to allow a setting within assessments where the teacher could allow up 1 (or more) questions to "not count" for the grade. We have a teacher who gives 6 question quizzes, with any ONE of those questions being "extra credit" -- thus a score of 5 is a perfect score and a score of 6 is the extra credit.
