For a Question type assignment, you are graded on the number of questions that you answer correctly. For short answer questions with multiple parts, it may be that your instructor decides to give partial credit for getting some, but not all parts correct. Otherwise, you’ll have to get all the parts right to get the question marked as correct.
The Unit Menu page for a Question type assignment will show your grade out of the total number of questions in the assignment. The table on the page will show the name of all the units in the assignment along with links to each of their content pages (Info Page) and questions. Your grade for each question will also be displayed.
You can navigate freely through all of the content pages and questions in the entire assignment. Just click on a link in the Content/Question column to go to whatever content page or question you want. Questions can be done in any order, but it is best if you read any content pages in a unit before answering questions in that unit; they may contain information that you need to answer the questions.
After the due date, the table on the Unit Menu page will change slightly. Since you can try questions after the due date for practice, both your before and after the due date scores are shown. The Your Grade column continues to show the score that you achieved on each question before the due date. The Best Score column (displayed after the due date), shows the best grade overall for each question. A 
in this column reminds you that even though you may have completed the question, it was done after the due date and will not count toward your final grade.
If your instructor has decided to limit your attempts, you will only get to try each question a set number of times for credit. In this case, the number of attempts allowed will be displayed in the top section of the Unit Menu page. The table on the page will also contain two additional columns: Best Score and Number of Attempts Left. The latter will show you how many more times you can try the question. This information will also appear on the question page itself. After you have used up your attempts, you can still try the question for practice. Thus the Best Score column shows how well you’ve done on each question even after you’ve used up your attempts on it, and the is a reminder that it doesn’t count. After the due date, your attempts are no longer tracked. The Best Score column shows your best work on each question no matter whether it was done after your attempts were used up or after the due date.
