To work through the quiz, click on the Next or Previous buttons at the bottom. After working through all questions, the bottom right button will have the text “Review”.

Reports

Within a report, you will first enter data and then complete calculations and analysis of your data. If you have the option to Request Provisional Data, you should ONLY do this if instructed or completing the lab online; you will not be able to change this choice after confirming it.

While entering data, you may have a box pop up that you have entered an unacceptable value. The box will tell you how to fix the entry, such as the one pictured to Enter numeric values only (e.g. 123.4 or 1.234E+2). After fixing the entry, you can click Try again to move on.

When you have completed entering all the data, there will be a notification that you are about to move into the calculation section:

Your options are to Proceed or Review and change any data.

In the calculations and analysis section, you will be prompted to answer questions. You may need to upload a file or image to answer these questions:

Click on the icon to enter the menu to choose the image or file you want to upload.

When you are done answering all the questions, click the “Submit” button. A notification will pop up to check your work, which states “Please check that you have answered all questions before submission.” You can choose to Submit to turn the report in for grading or Cancel to look back at your report.

While reviewing your report, there is a legend to help you understand the markings.

You will be able to adjust your answers if you have remaining attempts by clicking on the button labeled “Attempt Activity Again” at the bottom of the report. A notification will pop up to confirm that you want to retry the calculations and questions of the report:

You can choose to “Confirm” or “Cancel”

After you are completely done with the report, you can click on the “Summary” tab to see the points earned. Any question with a blue circle on this page indicates that the grade is “pending” because a grader needs to grade it.
