How do I Assign a Quiz to an Individual Student? – Bearface

When creating or editing a quiz, you can assign a quiz to a specific student. Availability date functionality is still available for each quiz.

Only the student(s) specified in the quiz details can view the quiz.

When using differentiated assignments with the Gradebook, the quiz appears as a column for all students, but grade cells are grayed out for students who have not been included in the quiz. Grades cannot be assigned for students who have not been included in the quiz, and quizzes that are not assigned to a student are not factored into overall grades.

When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course, quizzes are also respected against closed grading periods.

Open Quizzes

In Course Navigation, click the Quizzes link.

Add Quiz

Click the Add Quiz button.

Enter Quiz Details

Enter a name [1] and description [2] for your quiz, as well as any other quiz options [3].

Assign to Student

By default, Perceivant will set your quiz for everyone in your course. To create the quiz for a specific student, click the Everyone remove icon [1],then start to type in the name of a student [2]. Search fields are dynamic, and you can search for students by first or last name. When the full name appears, click the name. Lists are not scrollable.

You can include more than one student in the To field as long as the students are to be assigned the same due and availability dates.

Edit Due and Availability Dates

In the date fields, add your preferred date(s) with the following options:

Due [1]: Set the date and time that the quiz is due. The due date will already be populated for you if you created an assignment shell, but you can change it if necessary.
Available From [2]: Set the date and time when the quiz will become available.
Until [3]: Set the date and time when the quiz will no longer be available.

Note: Beneath the Due Date and Availability date fields, Perceivant will display the time zone date and time according to context. If you manage courses in a time zone other than your local time zone and create or edit a due date for a graded discussion, the course and local times are displayed for reference.

Add Additional Dates

To add another student with a different due date and availability dates, click the Add button.

Remove Dates

You can also delete additional dates by clicking the remove icon next to the appropriate date.

Save and Publish

If you are ready to publish your discussion, click the Save & Publish button [1]. If you want to create a draft of your discussion and publish it later, click the Save button [2].

View Due Date Warning

If you do not add course sections to the assignment, you will see a warning message asking you if you want to add those sections.

You can click the Continue button [1] if you don't want to add any sections to the assignment, or click the Go Back button [2] to go back and add additional sections.

Note: This warning message will not appear if Everyone or all course sections are assigned to the assignment.

View Date Error

If you submit an invalid string of due dates and try to save the graded discussion, Perceivant generates an error notification. Such invalid entries include not unlocking the discussion before it is due, not placing the due date inside the range of availability dates, or assigning a date that is outside the course or term dates.

Correct the date and then update the discussion again.

Notes:

If the course does not include specified course start and end dates, Perceivant validates the quiz against the term date set for the course.
If your course is using Multiple Grading Periods, the Assign field validates the due date against the closed grading period and requires the quiz date to be past the date of the closed grading period.

Preview and Publish Quiz

Click the Preview button [1] to see what students will see when they take the quiz. If the preview shows the quiz the way you want it, click the Publish button [2].

Note: Although you can make changes to the quiz after it is published, students who have already opened or completed the quiz will not see any of the changes, which may affect their grades.
