Quizzes

By default, students can access Quizzes by going to More [A] in the course navbar, then selecting Quizzes [B]. If an instructor has modified the course navbar, there may be a more visible link to Quizzes.

Alternatively, instructors may link directly to Quizzes within a Content module [A].

Quizzes may be set up differently depending on the instructor. Note that if a quiz is auto-graded, there may be a slight delay between quiz submission and quiz grading. If a quiz is manually graded, grades will not appear until the instructor has scored the quiz attempts.

View D2L’s guide on Quizzes for more information.

Timed Quizzes

Quizzes may have time limits. Some time limits only allow students to take the quiz for as long as the timer allows: once that time is done, the quiz will auto-submit. 

Other quizzes with time limits may allow students to continue working.

Always review the Instructions section before starting the quiz. The instructions will say whether the quiz will auto-submit [A] or whether it will be marked as exceeding the time limit but allow students to continue working [B].

In some cases, a time limit may just be a recommendation [C].

When taking a quiz with a time limit, students have the option to hide the timer. To do so, hover over the timer in the corner, then select Hide timer [A].
