Submission Tab
![](tut14.png)
Max Attempts: This is a drop-down box. The default is
1. Unlimited is above 1, but you can set it to whatever you want. I
usually set a quiz to three attempts. It's the first one that counts in
my classes, but there are computer glitches, network interruptions,
etc. that will allow the student to try two more times without having
to wake me up at 2 a.m. If a computer crash happens, the quiz will show
up as a zero or will get hung up in Items Pending. When you view the
grades, you can sort by User and that's a quick way to see if students
had to take the quiz multiple times. But we're way ahead of ourselves.
Validation: The choices are "Warn about incomplete
items," "Do not allow incomplete items," and "Do not check for
incomplete items." This is a tough call. If you have a 50-question quiz
and the setting is "Do not allow incomplete items," the student who
accidentally began the quiz when s/he didn't want to, is going to have
to dismiss 50 pop-up windows to get out. If the setting is "Do not
allow incomplete items" under the same circumstances, the student is
going to have to do the whole test; there's no other escape except to
click the back button, let the time to expire, and let Angel take the
quiz. I generally use the "Do not check for incomplete items" and hope
that the student will double-check his/her work before clicking the
Submit button.
Auto-Save: The default is Disabled, but if you want
Angel to save work, there are choices in 5-minute increments.
Do not allow users to save and finish later: If you
agree, click this button. If you want to allow students to save their
work periodically, then leave this box unchecked. When the student is
taking the test, there will be a Save button to the right of the Submit
button. If the student clicks "Save," the options are "Continue" or
"Finish Later." Warning: If the test is timed, the clock continues to
run!
Make submissions anonymous: DON'T EVER CHECK THIS BOX
UNLESS YOU WANT TO LEARN A VALUABLE LESSON FOR YOURSELF! If you check
this box, you won't know who submitted the quiz. However, if you're
conducting a survey of T/F questions, such as My teacher is handsome,
My teacher is an incredible speaker, My teacher is the smartest person
ever, an anonymous submission might be OK. If that's the case, I'd
leave "No banner" in the Content tab unchecked so that students can see
that it's going to be anonymous and that you're not trying to trick
them to find out who doesn't thinks you're handsome. You won't know who
submitted the quiz and the students will not be able to review their
answers.
Let's go to the Review tab or back to
the Index page before I compulsively
click the "Make submissions anonymous" box. Satan is tempting me!
