Assignment Setup and Controls

You can set Grades Accepted Until dates for InQuizitive assignments. After a Grades Accepted Until date for an assignment passes, students can continue to answer questions, but will no longer be able to improve their grade on that assignment.

Here’s how to set up Grades Accepted Until dates:

Select a Student Set in the Select a Student Set drop-down menu.

Click [set] across from the assignment.

Select a Grades Accepted Until date and click the Set Grades Accepted Until button. The first time you set a GAU, you'll be asked to choose your time zone. The next time you create a GAU, your time zone will be automatically selected.

Note: If you’re using the Student Grades grid to track average InQuizitive grades, only assignments with Grades Accepted Until dates will count toward InQuizitive averages. In other words, if you're using InQuizitive for a grade, set Grades Accepted Until dates for all assignments you're asking students to complete!

Here's how to modify both the number of questions and Target Score accordingly:

Select a Student Set in the Select a Student Set drop-down menu.

Click [set] or the GAU date across from the assignment.

In the next window, click the More Activity Settings button.

Use the Minimum Activity Duration slider to modify how long or short you’d like the activity to be and click the Save Settings button.

You can’t choose which questions students answer. However, you can omit Learning Objectives that won’t be covered in an InQuizitive assignment via the activity settings page, and thus, students won’t receive questions for those Learning Objectives.

Here’s how to omit Learning Objectives:

Select a Student Set in the Select a Student Set drop-down menu.

Click [set] or the GAU date across from the assignment.

In the next window, click the More Activity Settings button.

Near the bottom of the page, uncheck any Learning Objectives you don’t want students to be quizzed on and click the Save Settings button.

Questions cannot be modified in InQuizitive assignments. However, you can omit questions associated with Learning Objectives that won’t be covered in an assignment.

If you or your students should come across any problematic questions, please report them via the Question Help/Challenge button, and the Norton media editorial team will address them immediately.

Our goal in developing InQuizitive has been to provide the technology for our question authors to ask about each individual concept in a way that’s engaging, thought-provoking, and fun for students. We’ve developed many different question types in InQuizitive—12 at last count (and many types have a number of different “variants”)—to allow us to ask creative questions about the variety concepts and disciplines our books cover.

Every question in InQuizitive is essentially a mini-game in itself and all share the following characteristics:

• All questions are interactive in one way or another: students have to drag-and-drop elements from one place to another; find and click a choice, a part of an image, or a part of a sentence; or type something to answer the question.
• In every question, students get immediate feedback after every click, drag/drop, or keystroke. InQuizitive corrects students as soon as they start down the wrong path to answering a question—before they’ve gone down that path long enough to develop a misunderstanding.
• There is no “I give up” or “Show me the answer” button in InQuizitive. Every question is designed to guide students to generate the correct answer themselves, even if they don’t know the answer when they start.

Students can’t give up or skip questions when they don’t initially know the answer. Instead, students must make an initial guess (after setting their confidence level appropriately), and then InQuizitive guides them to generate the correct answer themselves if their initial guess is wrong.

If a student feels a question is incorrect or unfair, he or she can click the Question Help/Challenge button and briefly explain the issue with the question.

If the question is indeed faulty, any points lost on the question will be returned, and a new question will be shown. Moreover, question challenges are reported back to Norton media editors, who will quickly correct the question, if need be.

Note: Such corrections immediately go into effect for all users in the system. Students can challenge three questions per assignment, and instructors can also report problematic questions from Question Review mode.

3. Select a Start and End date for this Student Set.
4. If you would like the Grades Accepted Until dates to be copied from the original Student Set, select Yes. All GAUs set in the original Student Set will be copied to this Student Set.
5. You'll be given a brief summary of how many InQuizitive assignments will be copied from the original Student Set. The settings that will be copied include: minimum number of questions to complete each activity, selected learning objectives, and any custom assignments that you created; previous student results will NOT be copied to the new Student Set.
6. Finally, click the Create Student Set button.

You will then receive a confirmation message. Please review the information and if everything is correct, click the Confirm button to create the new Student Set with the copied assignments and settings. If you need to make any adjustments, click the Back button to return to the previous screen.

Even though the assignments and settings were copied from another Student Set, your new Student Set will be assigned a new, unique Student Set ID number. Be sure to give your students the new Student Set ID number so that they can join this specific Student Set.

2. Copy Assignments and Settings to an Existing Student Set

On the Manage Student Sets window, click on the Update button to the right of the Student Set to which you would like to copy the assignments and settings.

In the Assignments and Settings section, click on the Copy assignments and settings from another student set link.

Select the Student Set from which you would like to copy the assignments and settings from the drop-down menu.

If you would like to copy the assignments and settings from another instructor's Student Set, select Copy from another instructor's Student Set from the drop-down menu, enter the Student Set ID number, and click the Apply button.

If you would like to copy the Grades Accepted Until dates from the original Student Set, click Yes to the right of Do you want to include your Grades Accepted Until dates? A brief summary of how many InQuizitive assignments which will be copied into this Student Set will be displayed. Finally, click the Copy Assignments button.

You will then be asked if you're sure you want to copy the assignments and settings into this Student Set. To proceed, click on the Copy Assignments button.

Note: All assignments and settings in the new Student Set will be overwritten by the assignments and settings from the original Student Set.

The settings that will be copied include: the minimum number of questions to complete each assignment, selected learning objectives, and any custom assignments that you created; previous student results will NOT be copied to the new Student Set.

Yes! While it is not possible to create your own customized InQuizitive questions, you can create a custom assignment that combines the questions from several different chapters into one larger assignment, or splits a single chapter into multiple assignments. This could be useful if you cover a single chapter over multiple weeks or cover topics from multiple chapters in a single week; or you could create a custom assignment with questions from many chapters to use when helping your students prepare for mid-term or final exams.

In InQuizitive, click on the Create Custom InQuizitive Assignment button.

Select the chapters you would like to be included in your custom assignment. After you select a chapter, it will expand and you will be able to view all of the learning objectives found within that chapter. Deselect any learning objectives that you do not want to be included in your custom assignment. Once you are finished, click the Next Step button in the bottom right corner.

Name your custom InQuizitive assignment, select the Student Sets you would like to be able to access the assignment, and click the Create Custom Assignment button.

Your custom assignment will be added to the activity lists of all of the students who are members of the Student Sets you selected in the previous step. Additionally, your custom assignment will be given a direct access link/URL. You cannot change the name of a Custom Activity once it has been created.

Note: If you have set up InQuizitive/LMS integration using individual activity links (rather than one link to the InQuizitive activity list home page), you will want to use this direct access link to set up a new integrated link in your LMS (in the link, you'll need to change "digital" to "ncia" and follow the steps you've used for other InQuizitive/LMS integrated activity links). For more information on LMS integration, please review the Instructor Help Notes.

After you create your custom InQuizitive assignment, be sure to click on the [set] link on the assignment list to set a Grades Accepted Until date.

You may also choose to edit additional activity settings (minimum number of questions required and target score) by clicking on the More Activity Settings button. Go to Assignment Setup and Controls for additional help or watch this video.

To delete a custom InQuizitive assignment that you have created, click on the DELETE button to the right of the custom assignment you'd like to delete.

You can then select to delete the custom assignment from all Student Sets or from the Student Set you have selected. Please be careful since deleting a custom assignment is permanent!
