You are able to use SpeedGrader to grade and give feedback on quiz submissions, including auto-graded questions. The interface in SpeedGrader is slightly different between Classic and New Quiz and some of the functionality differ as well. The main one being: You cannot grade question by question in New Quizzes, yet.

Classic Quiz

When students have taken your quiz you can click SpeedGrader (1) in the right column.

The SpeedGrader interface is the same as with a regular assignment. The only change is that the quiz submission in displayed in the main window instead of a document or video. You can't edit the total points in the right column, this is automatically calculated from the points awarded for each question, which is done in the main window.

Auto-graded questions have points already filled in (but can be changed), points for the remaining questions must be awarded manually. Each question also has an extra comment input for further feedback.

Warning!

Your changes to points and additional comments are not saved automatically. Just must click Update scores at the bottom.

At the bottom of the main window you can also add fudge points (not tied to a specific question), positive or negative.

Grade question by question

To be able to grade question by question you must first enable this feature in SpeedGrader. Click the cog wheel at the top left and choose Options.

Just above the students answers you can now see a horizontal menu with all the question numbers. Click the number of the question you would like to grade and when you switch to the next student you will immediately start at the same question.

Auto-graded questions have points already filled in but they can be changed(1), points for the remaining questions must be awarded manually. Each question also has an extra comment input(2) for further feedback. At the bottom of the main window you can also add fudge points (not tied to a specific question), positive or negative.

One neat feature in SpeedGrader for New Quizzes in the option to regrade(3) a question. If you for example change the correct answers in an Multiple Answer question after students have taken the quiz, you can regrade with your new settings. Regrading options includes:

Change the correct answer,
Change points value for the whole item,
Change points values on individual answers (if applicable).

You are also able to view and grade student submissions by entering the New Quiz and switch to the Moderate tab.

From here you can view each attempt and grade/give feedback. Switching student in this interface however, is more work than in SpeedGrader, since you have to go back to the Moderate tab and then select the next student/attempt manually.
