Open Quizzes

In Course Navigation, click the Quizzes link.

Note: You can also access quizzes from the Assignments page.

Add Quiz

Click the Add Quiz button.

Create New Quiz

In the Choose a Quiz Engine screen, select the New Quizzes option [1]. To save your quiz engine selection for this course, check the Remember my choice for this course checkbox [2].

Then click the Submit button [3].

Note: You can reset your quiz engine choice from the Quiz Options menu at any time.

Edit Quiz Details

In the Assignment Name field [1], enter the name of your quiz. To enter quiz details, enter the total points possible [2], select the assignment group [3], and choose how the grade is displayed to students [4].

To remove this quiz from final grade calculations, click the Do not count this assignment towards the final grade checkbox [5].

The points possible set on the assignment details page is the total points possible for the quiz. Points set per question determine points earned for correct answers. Points earned for correct answers are totaled and divided by the sum of the total question points for the quiz. That percentage is then used to calculate the final score based on the total points set on the assignment details page. For example, if you set the total points on the assignment details page to 50 and create an quiz with 10 questions each worth 1 point, the quiz has a total of 10 points but is worth 50 points when graded. If a student answers 9 questions correctly, their quiz score is 90% (9/10). However, their final score in the Gradebook will be 45/50 (90%).

If your quiz is worth zero points, you can choose to not display the quiz in the Gradebook or student Grades page [6].

Anonymous Grading

Anonymous grading hides student names from graders when they view assignment submissions in SpeedGrader.

Note: Once anonymous grading is turned on for a quiz, it cannot be turned off.

Assign Quiz

In the Assign To field [1], select who will be required to take the quiz. You can assign the quiz to individual students or sections.

In the Available from [3] and Until fields [4], select the availability dates for the quiz. Quizzes in progress automatically submit when the Until date and time passes.

Note: If you have set section override dates in your course, you may need to select a course section and set due and availability dates that fall within the section override dates.
