If a student starts a quiz but never submits their answers, the Quiz Generator flags this as an Abandoned Attempt on the quiz. The one exception to this is:
- If you set up the quiz to have a timer, and
- If you set up the quiz to have that timer continue running even if the student leaves the quiz page, and
- Time runs out for the student on the quiz
Then the student's answers for the quiz are automatically submitted by CoursePlus in the background. Students receive zero points for any questions they did not answer.
Outside of this situation, however, any time a student starts a quiz but never submits their answers is considered an abandoned attempt. You can take the answers a student entered and convert them into the final answer set for the student.
