Quercus Updates

This week: Canvas Release Notes, This Week's Faculty Question:  I want to create a 2-part Mid Term in my course using Quizzes. The first part will contain only Multiple-Choice Questions and the second part will have short- answer questions where students can upload files that they complete offline. I created the two parts as separate quizzes because I want to use different time limits for each part. Is there a way to ‘link’ the 2 Quizzes in a way that students must complete the first one before starting the second one?
