Step 4 (optional): Delete quiz submission view

Did you make a new submission view? If you did, are those the settings you want your students to see for the quiz?

If you do not want students to see the newest submission view, you should delete it after printing.

Quiz questions with correct answers included

Most steps for printing a quiz with the correct answers included are the same as the steps above for printing quiz questions only.

The only difference is the settings in Step 2.

Step 2: Submission view settings

    • This needs to be a date in the past. It will default to a future date.
  2. Under Questions select All questions
  3. Check the box next to Show the correct answers to the displayed questions
