Modifying assessment descriptors

You can modify the assessment name, description, and instructions for tests, surveys, and pools.

To modify assessment descriptors:

1. Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.

2. Click Control Panel.

3. Under Assessment, click the link for the assessment's manager, for example, Assessment/Test Manager.

4. Click Modify next to the assessment you want to edit.

5. If students have already taken the assessment that you want to modify, a message advises you of this fact. Because you are making only textual changes to the test, click Continue to proceed.

6. (Optional) Modify the assessment name, description, or instructions by clicking Modify next to these items.

7. Click Submit.

If you received the warning about students having already taken the test, click Continue again.

8. (Optional) You can add questions to the assessment and modify assessment questions that are already in the assessment, as long as no students have taken it.

9. Click OK when you are finished.

Note: If you have added the assessment to a content area, you can modify the test descriptors from there. Under Content Areas in the Control Panel, click the link for the content area that includes the assessment. Click Modify next to the assessment, then click Modify the Test or Modify the Survey.
