Below are screen shots with examples of the email notifications you'll receive if you've selected to receive email for submissions from Tests & Quizzes.  There are several types of notifications, corresponding to the different ways in which an assessment can be submitted:

1. Manual submission: A student clicks the Submit for Grading button on the Assessment Submission Warning screen to confirm submitting an assessment.
2. Timer submission: The timer expires on a timed assessment and automatically submits the assessment for the student.
3. Automatic submission: An instructor has configured an assessment to Autosubmit saved student work after latest acceptance date, unless student has previously submitted.  A student saves content in the assessment and exits it before the latest acceptance date, so the assessment remains In Progress.  The saved assessment is automatically submitted at the latest acceptance date provided no other attempt has been submitted.

Test-Taking Tips - In order to avoid potential problems during an assessment, it is recommended that you:

• Use a supported web browser, such as the most recent version of Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer.
• Make sure that you DO NOT have multiple windows or tabs open while testing.
• Make sure that you have a dependable internet connection; wired rather than wireless if possible.
• DO NOT use your browser back and forward buttons. Always navigate within Sakai.
• For timed tests, remember that once you begin the test, the timer will continue to count down.  This is true if you lose internet connection, your browser crashes, or you simply exit and close your browser window.
• Make sure that you only click on the Begin Assessment button ONCE when starting a test.
• Make sure that you only click on the Submit for Grading button ONCE when submitting a test.

This feature allows the instructor to view a list of all assessment submissions for a specific student, including submissions that are no longer available via the Total Scores screen as because the instructor has allowed the student to retake (via "Allow Retake") the assessment.

You can view statistical information about student submissions to an assessment, such as average scores and standard deviation.  If the assessment has automatically-graded questions, you can also access an Item Analysis page, which gives a quick table overview of the percentages of students who answered each question correctly, and how many students selected each answer option.
