Understanding the Class page

Within a given class page, there are quite few things you can do, including editing class details, filtering the main assessment list, and even providing students with time accommodations.

To edit details within a class, navigate to the class you would like to edit within your instructor account and click on the pencil icon to enter the class and make changes.

Within a class, you can...

To edit the class name, click the space next to class name and enter the name you would like to use.

To edit the featured class image, click the image to the left of the class name and upload your desired image.

After you have made changes, make sure to click save in the bottom right corner to save your progress.

You can use the filter checkboxes at the top of your assessment list to control what displays on the class page. This is particularly helpful when you have many assessments in your class.

Assessments can be filtered by the following status:

To change the assessment time frame and thus change the assessment status, click into the assessment to edit the start and end times. For more, see this article.

Beneath your list of assessments, you will see a button that allows you to preview assessments from your students as if you were a student. Don't worry, your answers won't be saved.

Step 1: Go to the class you would like to view.

Step 2: Click View as Student below your assignment list.

Step 3: A new window will open in the Student Portal to test your assignments.

You can accommodate for students who have time extensions by following the steps below.

Step 1. Click the cog icon ⚙️ on the right side of the page for the given student.

Step 2. Click the button to activate time extensions, which will illuminate the numbers below.

Step 3. Determine how much additional time you would like the student to have for a given question. For time and a half, use 1.5x. For double time, use 2x. For all other instances, you can enter a custom extension multiplier.

For more, watch the video below.

Once timing extensions are set, the timing parameters will automatically adjust for this student for timed questions. You will also see the change reflected in your class roster.

See the chart below for an example of how extensions affect original response times.

Note: time extensions are only visible on teacher accounts, so students in your class will not know if anyone has an extension; only you will.

To impersonate student's account, you can click the eye 👁️ icon next to the cog. This will let you impersonate that student and view their account. Don't forget to sign out.

To remove a student from your class roster, click on the trash can 🗑️ icon.

This action cannot be undone. To learn more about deleting students, click here.

Within student settings via the cog icon ⚙️, you can also reset a student's password when necessary.

Note: Teachers who have synced with an LMS like Google Classroom, Schoology, or Canvas should never have to reset or change a student's password, since those students access Extempore assessments directly from their LMS.
