It is not possible to assign a test to a specific student or small group of students, but there are settings that you can use to do so effectively. You will assign the test to the entire class and adjust the settings so that only certain students can take the test. Then, once the test is complete, you will adjust the grade book so that the grade will only count toward the overall grade of the students who took the test.
Contents:
A. Assigning the Test:
1. Create a test like you usually would. If this test is being created just for this situation, you might consider giving it a name to indicate to the other students in the class, such as "Airway retake-Amanda." This is optional.
2. Add the test to the class.
3. Fill out the settings. If you do not want other students to accidentally take this exam, add a password to the test that you will share only with the student(s) who are supposed to take it.
4. Have the student(s) take the exam. Use the steps below so that the score counts only toward the desired students.
B. Toggle Grade Visibility:
Because you have to assign the test to the entire class, you will have students with 0s on this exam. These 0s will count against them if you do not use toggle grade visibility to keep these goose eggs from counting toward their overall grade. The test should be completed before taking these next steps.
1. Select the dropdown for your class and select View Gradebook.
2. Click the title of the test that was assigned to a few students. This will open a second browser tab with your test results for the exam.
3. Select the checkbox for the students that DID NOT take this exam. Their score will be 0.
4. Click the Toggle Grade Visibility button. This will prevent the score from counting against the selected students.
5. Check to make sure that the students who did not take the exam have a line through their names. This indicates which students have had the grade removed from their overall grades.
Once everything looks good on the test results page, you are all set to close this window.
