Tests & Quizzes
Tests happen. You will be asked in probably one of your online classes to take a test, quiz or exam. We know that taking a test, in general, is scary. Test anxiety is real. Hopefully, this section will help a little explaining how a test is taken in Blackboard. We will be using the generic term, “test” for these instructions. Your instructor might call it something else, Weekly Quiz or tests are some examples. If unsure, ask your faculty.
