How to unhide correct answers on Canvas quizzes?

[rollok29]

Hi there! I have a professor that has been giving us weekly quizzes. He sent a message telling us to study the questions because they will be on our midterm & finals. The issue is, some of the students can see the correct answers to the quiz by finding them through a backgate-way (they have to do it on the app, they click the quiz through the grade section, and then click on "submission & rubric"), but that only works for some students. For others, like myself, it says "correct answers are hidden". 

What are all the ways that you might be able to see the correct answers, when they're hidden in other ways on canvas? Obviously they're available somewhere, since others are able to see them. I need to find a way to unhide these answers so that I can study for the midterm and final.

Hi @rollok29

Quizzes new has some options for showing the answers.

Go to the quiz and choose Build then settings

There is a section "Restrict student result view"

You can play around with the options

@julian_ebeli ...

After reading @rollok29's question, it appears Kyla is a student, not an instructor.  You've shared a screenshot of settings that can be configured from an instructor's perspective...not a student's point of view.  Therefore, Kyla cannot play around with these options.

Kyla may need to ask her instructor to allow her to see the correct answers to the quiz.

I suggest she email her instructor with a screen shot or two of what she sees, explain the issue, and include a link to this discussion.

Hello @rollok29 

Thanks for posting about this in the Canvas Community! 

I just wanted to reply to this post you made and let you know you would need to have your instructor reconfigure the settings of all the quizzes you are trying to view the correct answers for. You as a student, don't have the ability to adjust these settings due to your permissions in the course. 

If your instructor needs help getting those settings reconfigured, they are totally welcome to reach out to Canvas support for further assistance. 

Sorry for the confusion on this. Hopefully this helps!
