Many instructors will have chapter and other quizzes lined up for you to complete as part of your homework for their courses. Before you take a quiz, please read any and all descriptions and instructions. Some instructors set time limits on quizzes and once the clock starts it does not stop. Some instructors may have quizzes set so you can take them multiple times. The keys to completing a quiz effectively is not only confidence in your knowledge but also understanding the quiz instructions prior to starting.

Step-by-Step

1. Click on the Quizzes icon on the navigation bar.

 



 

 

2. Click the quiz title to get started.

 



 

 

3. Read the Time Allowed and Attempts as some quizzes have time limits or a limit on the amounts of times you can attempt them.

 

4. Read the Instructions and then click Start Quiz! when you are ready.

 



 

 

5. Make sure you are saving responses to each question along the way.

2. Observe the grade you earned and then click View to view feedback from your instructor.

 



 

 

3. View the instructor's feedback and then click Done to return to the Assignment list.
