Thank you for the comment Gaganjeet. When you are logged in SLATE if you click the Quizzes tab and you do not see anything, I would have a conversation with your instructor. If there is supposed to be a quiz and you do not see anything, they will need to be aware of the issue so they can make it visible to students. But that being said not all instructors utilize the quiz tool.
Your instructor can clarify for you.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.

how to look for a quiz to solve?
You change the default submission view to show questions answer incorrectly. Instructions can be found here: https://ltsa.sheridancollege.ca/learning-technology-portal/assessment/quizzes/creating-a-quiz/submission-views/
Hi there,
How do you ensure that students can see the wrong answers on their submitted quiz if it is multiple choice?
Derek,
You probably don’t want to delete the student’s attempt. You can use the ‘Add Users to Special Access’ tool to let this student take another attempt: https://ltsa.sheridancollege.ca/learning-technology-portal/assessment/quizzes/allowing-students-special-access-to-quizzes/
Feel free to give me a call at me desk today (ext.2067).

How can I reset a quiz for a student, so they are retry?
Can you provide your course name, section number and quiz name so I can take a look?
Hi, I have set up a quiz, and want to change the points values of the questions, but when I go to edit, the boxes for “points” and “difficulty” are no longer present. How can I change the point values?
Lynn,
You need to use the demo student to test your quiz from a student role. The role switch function will not allow you to actually take the quiz. Instructions on adding a demo student to your course can be found here: https://ltsa.sheridancollege.ca/learning-technology-portal/course-management/faculty-self-service/adding-a-demo-student/

Hello: I have put a quiz into my site, with unrestricted access, but when I go in as student to look at it, it’s there, but there is no place where it says “Start Quiz”. You can’t actually access it.
Thanks,
Lynn
