What information is in a Tests & Quizzes email notification?
Below are screen shots with examples of the email notifications you'll receive if you've selected to receive email for submissions from Tests & Quizzes. There are several types of notifications corresponding to the different ways in which an assessment can be submitted:
- Manual submission: A student clicks the Submit for Grading button on the Assessment Submission Warning screen to confirm submitting an assessment.
- Timer submission: The timer expires on a timed assessment and automatically submits the assessment for the student.
