Quiz Settings

Once a quiz is created, a Quiz Settings button displays, which allows teachers to control quiz feedback. Indicate whether Campus Student should Display Correct and Incorrect Answers: 

  •  Never - students are not told whether they got a question correct. This option is helpful if multiple classes are taking the same quiz. 
  • After completing the quiz - correct and incorrect answers are indicated once a student completes the whole quiz.

By default, new quizzes are set to Never reveal answers. Quizzes created prior to the release of Campus.2152 (December 2021) default to After completing the quiz, which was how all quizzes used to function. 


While quiz questions cannot be modified after students have taken a quiz, Quiz Settings can be modified. For example, if you are using a quiz in multiple sections, reopen the quiz after all students have taken it and enable answers so students can review how they did.


Note: feedback entered for specific questions when scoring quizzes also follows this quiz setting.

Students can view and take the assessment in Campus Student. Click Preview in the assignment to see the quiz from the student's perspective. 

Tips

  • Click the clock icon next to the Start and End Dates in the assignment to specify the times a quiz is available to students. For example, limit the time for a quiz to the class period.
  •  Note that assignments with quizzes can only be aligned to a single task/standard.
  • To administer a quiz that is scored, but does not contribute to student grades (such as a practice quiz), unmark the Include in Grade Calculation checkbox on the assignment.
  • Unscored quizzes can also be added to Resources.

Administering Quizzes

Quizzes are scored automatically once students submit their answers.

  • Scored using Points: Questions are each worth an equal number of points, based on the points possible. For example, if a quiz has 3 questions and is worth 9 points total, each question is worth 3 points. Scores with decimals are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
  • Scored using Rubrics or Marks: A percent of correct answers displays in the Grade Book above the timestamp. Teachers then interpret that percent as the appropriate Rubric or Mark and enter the score.

When a student is currently taking a Quiz, an In Progress link displays in the grade book. Click on a link to view a student's current progress through the quiz. Quizzes cannot be edited once a student has started taking it, although teachers can change the Quiz Settings to display feedback.

Once a student submits a quiz, the score or percent is calculated automatically, the Turned In flag is marked, and the submission link changes to a date/timestamp. Click on a link to view a student's quiz, filtered by incorrect questions and all.

Teachers have the option of this feedback setting after students have taken the quiz.

Considerations for Quizzes

  • Scoring with Points: Quizzes scores are auto-calculated for assignments with a Scoring Type of Points. Questions are each worth an equal number of points, based on the points possible. For example, if an assessment has 3 questions and is worth 9 points total, each question is worth 3 points. Scores with decimals are rounded to the nearest hundredth.
  • Scoring with Rubrics or Marks: For assignments scored with Rubrics or Marks, a percent of correct answers displays above the timestamp in the expanded assignment and teachers are responsible for interpreting and entering a score.
  • Note: Assignments with quizzes can only be aligned to one task or standard. However, multiple standards may be selected as metadata when sharing a quiz.
  • Students:
    • Student progress is saved prior to Submitting answers. Thus, if students accidentally leave the quiz prior to completing it, their answers will be saved.
    • Students cannot view quizzes until the Start Date of the assignment. To hide an assessment from Campus Student, unmark the Visible checkbox on the assignment.
