NOTES: Feedback options may be changed once the test has been given.

4. Selecting the first checkbox will allow students to see what answers they got wrong in the Student Feedback section.

  • The second box for "Only Once After Each Attempt" will only let them see the feedback one time after each attempt they have for this quiz or test.
  • The third box fof "Let Students See the Correct Answers" will show them what they got wrong, along with what the correct answer for the question was.
    • You can also be specific and include an availability window for the Correct Answers.
