By default, answers to manually graded questions will automatically receive full credit. Optional Show My Work questions do not automatically receive credit because they are not included in the assignment total.

If you grade an answer before the due date and your student submits another answer, the student receives either full credit or no credit and your previous score and comments might be lost.
