Student Receive Scores This is where students can see the correct answer (if you allow it) and your feedback After taking the quiz, students see their scores immediately (if you allow them)

Shut off these features when giving a summative assessment If you want to allow students to take retakes based on scores, turn on this option Shut off these features when giving a summative assessment Choose this option to send an email report to students If you want to allow students to take retakes to ensure mastery - turn off this feature

Differentiated Assessments

Question based on answers On Multiple Choice & Drop Down Questions, respondents can be brought to different parts of the assessment based on their answers to particular questions

How to Create Questions Based on Answers 3.Got your sections confused? Choose “merge with above” Step 1: ADD NEW SECTION 2.Create an effective title, so it makes sense when you are directing the questions there - don’t title section 1 etc. 1a.Click here to add new section

Remember Always take your survey yourself to see if it works the way you want Then check to see if the resulting data is what you wanted
