Can I reset a classic quiz?

[LoriGoldstein]

I want to give all the students in the class the chance to take it again, without seeing their previous answers or score. I actually want to do this for all 20 quizzes in the module, but I realize that may not be possible. Thank you!

Hello @LoriGoldstein - this is done via the Moderate Quiz interface. Give them all another attempt. See below. First, after going to the quiz and selecting Moderate this quiz, select all students.... then scroll to the bottom and select the link to change extensions for all students.

------ list of students -------- this below appears at the bottom of the names list....

All set?

Best, Jeff

Jeff, thank you.  I did it. But now, when they go to redo it, do they see their answers from the first time.  Or is it like new?

It depends on your settings.

• If you want to hide everything, your best option is to hide grades in the gradebook, and set them to be posted manually. That is the only way to hide the "general answer comments" below each question, if you use them.
  Remember to post the grades after the available until date.

• If you don't have "general answer comments", then it may be enough to uncheck the "Let Students See Their Quiz Responses" in the quiz settings.

To make it like a new quiz, I believe the only option would be to copy the quiz to a second course, delete the original, and then copy it back (or export it as a QTI, delete, and then re-import it).
Note that if you delete the original quiz, you can "undelete" it later, which should allow students to see their original attempts (though the quiz will show up twice, you may want to change its name).

Hi Gabriel:  thank you so much.  I was afraid that this was the right answer - copy, delete the old one, re-copy back into the course.  But thanks for confirming it for me - that is what I will do!
