Your Guide to Administering Tests and Quizzes in WebAssign
Do you have to quickly develop a strategy to test your students in a virtual environment? We have your back! WebAssign features a wide range of testing restrictions that allow you to create an assessment or turn any assignment into a quiz, test or even high stakes exam.
Keep reading to learn how to create your quiz, test or assessment and optimize your settings for student success.
1. Create an Assignment Category for Quizzes and/or Tests
By setting your assignment category and choosing a template, you’ll be able to have predetermined settings you can apply to any new test or quiz you create.
WebAssign’s default Assignment Templates for quizzes, tests and exams allow students fewer submission attempts than homework assignments and disable learning tools like eBook links and videos until after the due date.
2. Create Your Test and Questions
There are a variety of ways you can create quizzes and tests within WebAssign . You can create a custom test with all new questions, use a pre-built assessment included in your textbook’s Course Packs or convert an existing assignment into a test format. Let’s break down each approach so you can see how they work:
Create a New Test with all New Questions
This option takes the most amount of time, but it gives you the opportunity to individually select each question you’d like to include in your test. If you’d like to create a new custom assessment, follow these steps:
Create a new assignment and under Assignment Settings, select your test template identified in step 1.
Find your questions – through the question browser or by creating your own.
Add your questions to the test.
Use a Pre-built Assessment from Your Course Packs
Course Packs are a set of pre-built assignments available with most textbooks. Find and download your Course Packs from your Class schedule page, and choose the assessment you’d like to use.
WebAssign Tip: You can preview assignments in your Course Packs by clicking on them.
Convert an Existing Assignment into a Test
3. Customize Your Test Settings
You can further refine your exam template to customize the testing experience with a variety of different settings. Things to consider:
Do you want your students to submit the entire assessment at once to better simulate an on-campus exam? If so, you can easily do this by navigating to Submissions and Work and using the Submitting Answers drop-down to select ‘Assignment,’ meaning all answers for the assignment will be submitted at once.
Do you want to scramble the order of the questions on the assessment for each student? If so, under Assignment Display , select Random from the Question Order drop-down.
Do you want students to immediately know if they got each question right or wrong? Consider configuring correct/incorrect marks under Learning Tools so it only displays after the test due date.
Do you want to review students’ work as part of the test? Enable Show My Work either for all the questions on the assignment, or for specific questions . Marking Show My Work as required will let you manually add (or subtract) points based on the student’s detailed submission.
WebAssign Tip: If you’ve decided to customize one of WebAssign’s default templates or create your own, make sure to save the template for your personal use later or to apply it to any other assignments that you want to use as a test!
4. Configure Assignment/Testing Restrictions
Identify the assignment that you want to apply the restrictions to from your ClassView page and select the schedule option next to it.
You’ll be taken to the Schedule page for that specific assignment.
Click the blue action menu icon next to the assignment name and select ‘Edit Restrictions’ from the menu.
Available Restrictions
You can choose any of these restrictions, or choose multiple restrictions, on any assignment:
Schedule a Timed Assignment : Give your students a specific amount of time to complete an assignment. If your students are working on the assignment when the time expires, all their responses are automatically submitted so they do not miss any points. After the time has expired, your students cannot do any more work on the assignment.
Password Protect an Assignment : Students can only begin working on an assignment once you tell them the password. This restriction is ideal for ensuring all students are taking the test at the same time.
Schedule a LockDown Browser Restricted Assignment : To help prevent cheating, you can restrict your students’ computer activities while they are working on a quiz or test by requiring that the assignment be opened in the free WebAssign LockDown Browser®. While an assignment is open in LockDown Browser, your students cannot use instant messaging, search the Internet, print, copy text, or use other applications on their computer. Note: students must download and install LockDown Browser before they begin the test, so it is recommended you schedule a practice assignment so students can test their system to avoid additional testing anxiety.
IP Restrict an Assignment: You can restrict any assignment so students are required to use a specific set of IP addresses to access it. This restriction is ideal of exams delivered in a proctored environment, or for students required to use institutional devices from home.

Brief history of different grading systems
In 1785, students at Yale were ranked based on "optimi" being the highest rank, followed by second optimi, inferiore (lower), and pejores (worse). At William and Mary, students were ranked as either No. 1, or No. 2, where No. 1 represented students that were first in their class, while No. 2 represented those who were "orderly, correct and attentive." Meanwhile at Harvard, students were graded based on a numerical system from 1-200 (except for math and philosophy where 1-100 was used). Later, shortly after 1883, Harvard used a system of "Classes" where students were either Class I, II, III, IV, or V, with V representing a failing grade. All of these examples show the subjective, arbitrary, and inconsistent nature with which different institutions graded their students, demonstrating the need for a more standardized, albeit equally arbitrary grading system.
In 1887, Mount Holyoke College became the first college to use letter grades similar to those commonly used today. The college used a grading scale with the letters A, B, C, D, and E, where E represented a failing grade. This grading system however, was far stricter than those commonly used today, with a failing grade being defined as anything below 75%. The college later re-defined their grading system, adding the letter F for a failing grade (still below 75%). This system of using a letter grading scale became increasingly popular within colleges and high schools, eventually leading to the letter grading systems typically used today. However, there is still significant variation regarding what may constitute an A, or whether a system uses plusses or minuses (i.e. A+ or B-), among other differences.
An alternative to the letter grading system
Letter grades provide an easy means to generalize a student's performance. They can be more effective than qualitative evaluations in situations where "right" or "wrong" answers can be easily quantified, such as an algebra exam, but alone may not provide a student with enough feedback in regards to an assessment like a written paper (which is much more subjective).
Although a written analysis of each individual student's work may be a more effective form of feedback, there exists the argument that students and parents are unlikely to read the feedback, and that teachers do not have the time to write such an analysis. There is precedence for this type of evaluation system however, in Saint Ann's School in New York City, an arts-oriented private school that does not have a letter grading system. Instead, teachers write anecdotal reports for each student. This method of evaluation focuses on promoting learning and improvement, rather than the pursuit of a certain letter grade in a course. For better or for worse however, these types of programs constitute a minority in the United States, and though the experience may be better for the student, most institutions still use a fairly standard letter grading system that students will have to adjust to. The time investment that this type of evaluation method requires of teachers/professors is likely not viable on university campuses with hundreds of students per course. As such, although there are other high schools such as Sanborn High School that approach grading in a more qualitative way, it remains to be seen whether such grading methods can be scalable. Until then, more generalized forms of grading like the letter grading system are unlikely to be entirely replaced. However, many educators already try to create an environment that limits the role that grades play in motivating students. One could argue that a combination of these two systems would likely be the most realistic, and effective way to provide a more standardized evaluation of students, while promoting learning.

If you want to calculate the average grade you need on your remaining assignments (or on your final exam) in order to get a certain grade in the class, enter the desired grade you would like to get in the class. Then enter the total weight of all your class assignments. Often the total weight of all class assignments is equal to 100, but this is not always the case. Press either the “Calculate” button or the “Update” button and you will see your average grade for the class and the results will be displayed in the results area.

How to calculate weighted grade average?
First multiple the grade received by the weight of the assignment. Repeat this for each completed assignment.
Then add each of the calculated values from step 1 together.
Next add the weight of all the completed assignments together.
Finally, divide the calculated value from step 2 above by the value calculated from step 3. This gives you the weighted grade average.
Weighted Grade Formula
Weighted Grade = (w 1 x g 1 + w 2 x g 2 + w 3 x g 3 + …) / (w 1 + w 2 + w 3 + …)
Example Calculation
Here is an example. Let's say you received a 90% on your first assignment and it was worth 10% of the class grade. Then let's assume you took a test and received an 80% on it. The test was worth 20% of your grade.
To calculate your average grade, follow these steps:
Multiple each grade by its weight. In this example, you received a 90% on the first assignment and it was worth 10%. So multiply 90 x 10 = 900. You also received an 80% on the test and it was worth 20% of the class grade. So multiply 80 x 20 = 1600.
Add the calculated values from step 1 together. We now have 900 + 1600 = 2500.
Add the weight of all the completed assignments together. To do this, add 10% for the first assignment and 20% for the second assignment. That gives us 10 + 20 = 30.
Finally, divide the value from step 2 by the value from step 3. That gives us 2500 / 30 = 83.33. Therefore our weighted grade average is 83.33%.
