A student is trying to run a quiz but when she starts, no questions are visible.  It works for other students and she said she has tried multiple machines. Does anyone have an idea as to why this could be happening? Thank you.

Would it be possible to create a feature to round grades to a specific decimal point or no decimals at all?  If the feature is there, where is it located?  Does not seem like that would be overly complex.
