Student screenshots

QUESTION

A student shows me a screenshot with 100% correct, while the recorded grade shows missed problems. Or, they show me their screen on the device with a higher grade than was saved. What's going on?

ANSWER

Students do know some tricks. ThatQuiz saves the grade from the first time a student finishes a quiz. If a student shows you a different result on their screen than the result you have saved in your account, trust the official saved grade. Computer screens and screenshots can be manipulated in many ways. ThatQuiz records every answer your student gives every time he or she completes a problem. Those answers were the student's real answers, and our grade is the grade you can trust.

Share your tests with other teachers

If you want to share a test you've designed with all other teachers who use thatquiz.org:

2. Enter the email address of the teacher you want to share with. (This email address must be the address they use to login to thatquiz.org.)
3. Click "Add".

Different problems for each student

QUESTION

I want a single test where each student receives a different subset of problems from a larger problem bank. What do I do?

ANSWER

Create a large test with 100 questions. You can configure the test so that each student receives a different random subset of the total problem set.

Click on the test name in your list of tests. This allows you to edit many options related to the set.
If you have Random order already set, look immediately to the right of the word Random for the length of the test. When you set a length like 50 / 100 or 20 / 100 it means that each time someone takes the test they receive a random selection of 50 or 20 questions out of the full problem set.

Assign a test to some students; exempt other students

QUESTION

How can I assign a test to only some students in the class?

ANSWER

You can make some students exempt from taking an assigned test. Click on the test name in your list of assignments (first, click "See tests"). This opens a page for editing the options related to the assignment. Look for the "Exemptions" button. Any student who you mark and save as exempt will not see his/her name in the list of students who must test. The assignment will not appear on the class home page for that student. The student will not see the assignment on his/her mobile device in the ThatQuiz mobile app. For exemptions to work properly, students and teachers who use the mobile app should upgrade it to the latest version.

How to hide other students in a class

QUESTION

Would it be possible for a student to take his or her own quiz without seeing or knowing other student's names?

ANSWER

Yes, there are two ways to test without seeing other student names:

1. Email the student about the test. Check a test in your test list, and click the "Notify" button. Each student whom you notify receives an individual link by email. The student does not see the names of anyone else who tests.

2. Have the student install the ThatQuiz mobile app on his or her phone. All assigned tests appear on the students phone. The student cannot see other students in the class.
