Title: Find It Quiz
Course: CPS 189: Java Certification - Review, Practice & Prepare (Development)

In this course, you will be taking quizzes (tests or exams) in Blackboard. Quizzes in Blackboard are different from face-to-face (or in-class) quizzes in a number of ways. You'll want to carefully review the settings of each quiz before you begin. Below are some of the settings to be aware of:

- Number of Attempts: This Find It Quiz allows you to retake it as many times as you would like. So if you are not happy with how you scored, just go back in and take the quiz again. However, the other quizzes in this course may only allow for one attempt.
- Force Completion: This setting requires you to complete the quiz the first time you open it.
- Set Times: Some quizzes have a time limit. However, you can still submit a quiz even if the time has run out. The instructor can use discretion about whether or not to deduct points for taking extra time to complete a quiz.

While you are taking a quiz, there is a special security feature in Blackboard that could lock you out of your quiz. To avoid being locked out of a quiz follow the instructions below.

1. Clear all windows on your screen before starting any quiz.
2. Do not surf the web or other applications while taking the quiz. Blackboard will lock you out if you click on any other internet window or any other software applications.
3. If you get locked out of the quiz for any reason, please contact your instructor as soon as possible to reset the quiz for you.

When you are done with the quiz you can do two things.

1. Click Save to save your answers so you can go back over them. This does not send it for grading. Please note that if your test has the "Force Completion" setting, you will not be able to return later to submit your quiz.
2. Click Submit to save and submit the quiz for grading.

After you have submitted it to your instructor, a confirmation screen will appear with the date and time you submitted the quiz. Click OK and the "Review Assessment" page will appear. Based on how your instructor has set this to display, you may see some or all of the following: your score, your submitted answers, correct answers, and/or feedback on correct and incorrect answers.

If it says that your quiz or exam still needs to be graded, this is because there were either short answer, essay, or file response questions in your quiz that the instructor needs to grade before the score can be posted in the grade book. Please check the syllabus or with your instructor to see when the grades will be posted.

If you have already explored the Start Here! module and carefully reviewed the Syllabus & Schedule, you are ready to take your first quiz! Click on the Find It Quiz link above to begin.

Answer the following questions. Once you've completed the quiz, click on the link to view your submitted answers. When you view your submitted answers you will be able to see the correct answers and the feedback related to each question.

Anytime you take a quiz, I recommend going back to review your answers so you can immediately see feedback and understand any of the mistakes you might have made.

Q: Where do you go to find out how to contact your instructor? Choose all that apply.
- Syllabus

- The Blackboard Help Desk
- My Grades
A: Syllabus
If right: Correct! You can find your instructor's contact information in the Syllabus. While the folks at the Blackboard Help Desk are there to help you resolve Blackboard issues, they are not there to look up instructor's contact information. Although you can use Office Hours to meet with your instructor, you shouldn't expect your instructor to be just "hanging out" there to answer questions for you. You'd need to set up a specific meeting time first.
