What is a Quiz?
A Quiz is a method of testing a student's knowledge around a particular subject area. Quizzes are sometimes assessed so be sure to check your assessment briefings to ensure you complete everything that is expected of you. A Quiz can be identified by a pink icon with a white tick box.
Completing a Quiz
To view the 'Quiz' click on the quiz title to the right-hand side of the 'Quiz' icon.
If you have not attempted the quiz before you will see the 'Attempt quiz now' button. If you have started the quiz you should see the 'Re-attempt quiz' button. Click either of these buttons to start the quiz.
Each Quiz is unique and can contain any number of questions and different types of questions including text input and multiple choice. For example, you may be presented with a simple checkbox question and must choose just one answer.
Select your desired option to the question and click on the 'Finish Attempt' button to the bottom right. You will then be presented with the end of the Quiz 'Summary of attempt' window.
Here you can select 'Return to attempt' which will allow you to review your answers, or alternatively 'Submit all and finish' which will end the quiz attempt.
Please note that some quizzes only allow you to attempt them once, so be sure to check that you are happy with your answers before submitting.
Upon submitting you are presented with the feedback window which you can use to review your grade and marks for individual questions.
By clicking the 'Finish Review' button you are presented with the summary window. From there you can clearly see marks and achieved as well as your grade.
Reattempting a Quiz
Some quizzes are set up to allow you attempt them more than once.
