Assessments

Assessment Form

Illustration captured from the local environment on March 14, 2026. The English callouts highlight the assessment setup fields, the question bank shortcut, and the question-order area.

Use this page to create structured assessments such as quizzes or surveys. This is where you control the open window, attempt limits, and the exact question set.

What the list screen is for

From the list, you can:

  • search by name
  • filter by type and status
  • filter by semester, subject, or class
  • create
  • edit
  • delete

This is the right place when you manage many assessment records at once.

What the create or edit form contains

General setup

Typical fields include:

  • assessment name
  • type: quiz, survey, or mixed
  • status
  • target type
  • semester
  • subject
  • class offering
  • start and end time
  • time limit
  • max attempts
  • shuffle questions
  • shuffle answers
  • grading strategy
  • description

Question setup

In the lower section, you can:

  • open the Question Bank
  • pull approved questions into the assessment
  • add blank questions when needed
  • reorder questions
  • mark a question as required
  • enable or disable a question
  • override displayed wording

Why the Question Bank button matters

It lets you reuse reviewed questions instead of rewriting them every time. This improves consistency and reduces duplication.

What the Attempts route is for

Each assessment also has an Attempts route where you can review:

  • who opened or submitted the assessment
  • the attempt status
  • score percentage
  • submitted time
  • duration

If someone asks, “Who has already completed this assessment?”, the answer is not in the form screen. It is in Attempts.

Do not confuse this with Research Periods

  • Research Periods are usually for instructor evaluation windows
  • Assessments are for timed or rule-based quizzes and surveys
  1. Decide whether the record is a quiz or survey.
  2. Link it to the correct semester, subject, and class.
  3. confirm start and end time.
  4. pull the correct questions from the bank.
  5. review order and required flags.
  6. save.
  7. open Attempts later when you need participant-level tracking.
