When completing questions within StudentQuiz, you have the option to 'Finish' or 'Check' your answer. Clicking 'Finish' will not process your answer and will return you to the StudentQuiz homepage.

When navigating through questions, ensure you click 'Check' to check your answer. In doing so, you will also then have the ability to rate and comment. A 'Next' button will be generated which will allow you to proceed to the next question. 

When completing a question within StudentQuiz, when you click 'Check', it allows you to check your answer as well as leave rate the question and/or leave a comment. 

Potential comments to include would be feedback in relation to the question taken or to discuss the answer. Any comments you upload cannot be seen by a student who has yet to attempt the question. If enabled, you will receive points for interacting with comments and will be displayed accordingly in the ranking table within the StudentQuiz homepage. 

Your lecturer has the ability to set whether student names will be displayable or anonymised.

Upon answering a question, you will be asked to provide a rating (5 stars) of the question. This allows for feedback to be provided to the author of the question and allows the question to be reflective on it's usefulness for you and other students in your course.
