Helpful Hints

Unless a student has contacted you, don’t reset a quiz that has the In Progress icon. They could still be taking the quiz. If you have a multiple choice test and you receive the Needs Grading icon [ ! ], you may have a student that has gone over their time allotment. If a student has completed an essay question and no answer is present before contacting the student try to copy and paste the text area into Notepad or Microsoft Word. The answer may appear.

Only two of the symbols require special action:

The exclamation mark ! indicates a test has been submitted and the exam needs grading. It could also be an indication that the student went over the allotted time for the quiz.

To view and grade unscored questions:

• Click on the ! exclamation point.
• Click on the View button.
• Read and assign points to the essay/short answer question(s). Check any fill-in-the-blank questions that may be correct but because of a students misspelling were marked incorrectly.
• Submit to update score.

The question mark ? indicates that an error occurred while taking or submitting the exam.

To clear an assessment attempt:

• Click on the ? question mark.
• Click on the View button.
• Click on Clear Attempt button.
• Submit change.
