Assign as a Graded Quiz or Test
This feature enables educators to assign quizzes or tests that contribute to students' final grades. Assessments can be configured for automatic scoring or manual grading for more complex question types. Graded quizzes and tests offer formal feedback on student performance, helping both students and instructors monitor progress and comprehension of course material effectively.
Once you have finished building your quiz and it is ready for students to access, click 'Assign' in the top-right corner.
For more details on building your quiz, please refer to this article "Building Quizzes or Tests".
Alternatively, click 'Assign' from the quiz section within the unit that you wish to assign.
To assign your quiz or test as a graded assignment, make sure the grading toggle switch is turned on. Then, follow these steps:
Weight: Specify the weight of the quiz in relation to the overall course grade. This determines how much the quiz contributes to the final grade and ensures alignment with your course grading policy. Adjust the weight percentage as needed to reflect the quiz's importance relative to other assignments or assessments in the course.
Extra credit: Indicate whether the quiz should be assigned as extra credit. If selected, the points earned from the quiz will contribute to the student's overall grade without impacting the total possible points for the course. This option allows you to offer additional learning opportunities and incentives for students to engage with the material.
Closed Book: Turn on the Closed Book toggle switch to activate the test proctoring system. This feature locks the student’s device screen while they complete the test or quiz and provides a log of their activity during the quiz for the instructor. This ensures the integrity of the submitted assignment. For more information about the test proctoring system, please refer to this article "Using the Test Proctoring System".
Allotted Time: Specify the amount of time students are allowed to complete the quiz or test. This helps ensure consistency and fairness, particularly for timed assessments.
Accessibility Requirements: This feature allows you to provide specific students with additional time to complete the quiz or test as part of their accommodations. To use this feature, select the student's name and specify the extended time they require. For instance, if the quiz is set to 30 minutes for the entire class, but a student has an accommodation allowing twice the time, select the student's name and set their allotted time to 60 minutes.
Timezone: The timezone will default to your current timezone based on your computer settings. If you and your students are in different timezones and you want the quiz to align with your students' timezone, click the timezone field and select an alternative from the list.
Assigned From: To assign the quiz immediately, leave the 'Assigned From' field unchanged, as it defaults to the current time, as shown in the demonstration. If you want to schedule the quiz for a later time, click on the date and time field, select an alternative date from the calendar, and adjust the time accordingly.
Assigned Until: Set the deadline for when the quiz will close by selecting the appropriate date and time.
Once all fields are completed, click 'Assign' to finalize the process.
Once the quiz is assigned and becomes visible to your students, the 'Assign' button in the top-right corner of the quiz will change to 'Assigned.'
The quiz section within the unit will also update from 'Assign' to 'Assigned' to reflect the change.
