I am an instructor using quizzes in Canvas. I have made the quiz setting checking the box for "Let Students See The Correct Answers" the day after the quiz is due.
If a student did not take a quiz in the required time, will they still be able to view the correct answers?
I encourage students to use the quiz as a study guide for exams, which is why I want to know if they can see the answers even if they didn't take the quiz.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@seema , I am pretty sure that the student has to at least attempt it to see the correct scores as it shows what they picked along with the correct choice and their score. If the test is locked and they did not attempt it, the screen will not let them access the quiz and will just say it is now locked, it will not be a screen with the correct answers. My assumption is this is by design as you may want to have that student take the test for makeup when they return and if they already were able to see the answers it defeats the purpose.

Thanks Nick,
I tested this out with a test student profile and looks like what you are saying is correct. Thank you so much for responding!
-Best,
Seema
