Setting Up Surveys in Blackboard (Movie 4:55)
Survey Settings do not include options for assigning scores because survey questions are not graded. When questions are added, you do not specify which answers are correct, i.e., a survey does not have a correct answer.
NOTE: All surveys are anonymous by default, you cannot determine which users selected a particular response.
