Wewill show you to how to utilize Quiz Banks (Classic Quizzes) and quiz settingsto confidently re-use questions every semester. And we will list the questiontypes that are graded automatically, and which need to be graded by you.

Part 2
Save time and ensure gradingconsistency: using Canvas for written exams (30 minutes)

Let’s face it, the end of thesemester is tough and made even more challenging when you have to readstudents’ handwritten essays often spending time to decipher words that arebarely legible. One way to make it easier on yourself – and your students—is byallowing students to use Canvas or an MS Word document. It’s easier and quickerfor you to read and keeps you focused on how the student expresses what theylearned. Students benefit by having more time to thoughtfully type essays,check for writing continuity, and correct spelling mistakes.
