Add instructions for students taking the assessment, which displays before they start.
Use the rich text editor to format the instructions, add additional components such as tables, images, and LaTex symbols, and many other options.
Assessment Settings
- Assessment has a time limit: Set a time limit for the assessment. Students who have not finished before the time limit is expired have their assessments automatically submitted with the answers they have completed.
- Assessment questions are randomly ordered: Enable Randomize Order to ensure that each student sees the questions on the assessment in a different and randomly selected order.
- Show possible points for each question during the attempt: Hide or display how many points each question is worth for students taking the assessment.
Note: If the number of points you designated in the Create Assessment screen is different than the total number of combined points for all the questions in the assessment, the possible points for each question displayed to a student during an attempt will update to reflect this difference. For example, if you make the assessment worth 100 points in the Create Assessment screen, and have 9 questions on the assessment worth 10 points each, the number displayed during an attempt is 11.11: (100/90) x 10.
Important Note: Changes to the Assessment Settings are reflected in all future attempts, as well as any attempts currently in progress. For example, students begin an assessment and you realize you set the time limit to 3 minutes instead of 30 minutes. You change the time limit to 30 minutes and save. You can now instruct students to exit the assessment and resume it–they will see the new time limit. However, changing these settings does not affect assessment attempts that students have already submitted.
