Before you allow a student to retake a quiz, you should first ask: is this the best course of action?
The Quiz Generator has a number of tools that let you help students finish the quiz rather than starting over from scratch. You can:
- Give the student additional access to a single-access quiz
- Give the student more time to complete a quiz
- Convert the student's submitted answers back into an active quiz
If none of those options work for the given situation, you can always allow a student to re-take a quiz. Re-taking a quiz means that the student's attempt on the quiz is completely wiped out, along with all activity and answers related to taking the quiz.
How to Allow a Student to Retake a Quiz
- Click Quiz Generator under Activities and Assignments on the main Faculty Tools page.
- Click the quiz title on the main Quiz Generator page.
- Click Responses and Grades in the main navigation bar at the top of the page.
- Click the student name in the list of all students.
- Click Clear Answers and Allow Retake in the Options box in the upper-right corner of the page.
If it is outside of the normal quiz dates when you take this action, you will need to give the student special permission to access the quiz outside of the normal dates.
