Pre-checking rubrics when grading.

Gradebook auto-setting with weighting. Is this scenario possible?

Made a quiz and tried to save it, but the save button is unresponsive. I ended up hitting the "back" button, and it of course warned me that it would delete any unsaved data, which is what happened. I figured it was a fluke, maybe I got signed out on D2L/internet dropped out, etc. So I made a new quiz and put in a bunch of…
