Drop a Question From a D2L Test (Students Already Completed)

Faculty may need to drop a question from a completed D2L test if it's determined that the question was flawed, unclear, or not aligned with the intended learning outcomes. For example, if there was an error in the question's wording, a technical issue, or if the question was unusually difficult compared to the rest of the test, it could unfairly impact students' scores. In such cases, rather than removing the question entirely, a simple workaround is to update all attempts in the grade area and automatically assign full marks for the question to all students. This ensures fairness and consistency in grading, allowing the test to accurately reflect students' understanding of the material without requiring complex adjustments or manual score changes.
