When viewing the analytics for an assessment for short answer questions, Buzz shows all of the answers that were marked wrong. It would be very helpful if I had the option to select an answer and tell Buzz to accept it as correct.
This is mostly an issue because Buzz doesn't recognize equations. I have many questions that are multiple fill-in. The first blank is for students to write the equation they set up. The second blank is for their final answer. That way if they made an error solving, they can still earn partial credit for knowing how to set up the problem.
For example, lets say I want the set the angles of a triangle equal to 180 degrees. They might need to write:
(2x-5)+(8x-7)+(3x+1)=180
I already have about 20 different variations of this typed in as acceptable answers, but someone always finds one I didn't write. It could be written without parentheses, with or without spaces between any or all terms, in different order, simplified, etc. And all of those times 2 because the left and right sides could be swapped.
As it is now, if I see an alternate correct answer I must individually look through every assessment (around 150!) to look for that one answer.

Thank you for the suggestion Bruce! We'll keep this in mind for future consideration on further enhancements to the analytics.
