This Week's Faculty Question

Q: I need to assign a quiz only to a specific group of students in my course. How can I do that in Quercus Quizzes?

A: Quercus Quizzes cannot be assigned to groups, but they can be assigned to sections. If you need to assign a quiz only to a specific group of students (whether to increase Academic Integrity, to assign a different quiz to a group of students in a specific time zone, or to provide an academic accommodation), please have a look at our guide: How can I assign multiple versions of a quiz to different groups of students?

This guide shows you how to create groups, clone them into sections and assign these specific sections to your quiz. If you require assistance, please contact us at fase.edtech@utoronto.ca.
