Include an exam section in your course

The exam should go in the final section of your course just before the final page of the course where you congratulate th students on completing it successfully.

  1. Create an exam section in the course or rename your final section

  2. Create sub-sections "Instructions" and "Exam". It will look like this:

    2022-09-02_16_exam_section

  3. Provide clear instructions on how the students will take the exam.

    You will need to include screenshots or inform them which buttons to press and how to submit the exam.

Here is some sample text. Copy the HTML to your course and modify as needed.
