BeachBoard Quiz/SurveyTips and Tricks for Students:
- Make sure the student's Internet Service Provider (ISP) doesn't disconnect the student from the Web due to inactivity after a short period of time.
- Wireless Internet access is not always reliable, so try to avoid using wireless Internet access when taking a quiz.
- Refer to the student's modem or Dial-up Settings documentation to learn how to disable call-waiting or other services that may cause interruption.
- When a student clicks on a Take Quiz link and answers "OK" to the "Are you sure you want to take this quiz now?" dialog, - if a student does not complete taking the quiz, they usually will not be able to access the quiz again, and thus will be locked out. Only the instructor can permit the student access to the quiz.
- Do not click on the "OK" button more than once.
- When taking a quiz, make sure the student saves each question.
- Using the wheel on the mouse may move to the wrong answer in a selection box.
- At the end of a quiz, make sure the student Submits the quiz, not just Saves it.
- Make sure that the student doesn't accidentally close the Web browser in which the quiz resides.
- Make sure the student reads the quiz directions at the beginning in order to verify whether or not the quiz can be taken more than once.
- Students should not click on the browsers Back, Forward, Home or Refresh buttons at any time.
