     • Description question type - This is not actually a question. Instead it is a way to add some instructions, rubric or other content to the quiz.

While the question types vary, there is a common process during setup.

1. Question Name - this is an arbitrary name that is used for organizational purposes. Instructors and other Question Creators will see this. Avoid including the correct answer in the question name. 

2. Question text -  This is the question or statement that is being asked.

3. Answers - This will vary depending on the question type; the important part is to identify correct/incorrect answers.

4. General Feedback - This will vary depending on the question type; It’s recommended to include the name of the textbook and page number or link to online resources. This will help instructors check the question's accuracy and potentially help other students with the content.
