You can download assessment responses for grading offline, including bulk downloading submissions to a File Upload question so you can easily access them from a single folder on your computer.

For more information on entering assessment grades and comments, see the following articles:

• How do I grade Tests & Quizzes?
• How do I give same score (e.g. 0) to all students with no submission to an assessment?
• How do I grade Tests & Quizzes submissions by student?
• How do I grade Tests & Quizzes submissions by question?

The Event Log shows certain student activities for all Tests & Quizzes assessments in the site.  It is created and maintained automatically.  

Events recorded include (for each participant): when the student started the assessment (date and time), when the assessment was submitted (date and time), and the duration of the assessment session in minutes (rounded up to the nearest minute).  If the log entry includes a submission, the Errors column will display how the assessment was submitted: by the student (User submit), by the expiration of a timer on a timed assessment (Timer submit), or by the Automatic Submission feature (Auto submit).

Note:

• If there are no student submissions recorded for any assessment, the table will show No results found.  
• It takes about a minute for a timer to automatically submit a timed assessment.  When a Timer submit is recorded in the Event Log, the Duration column will indicate that the assessment took 1 minute longer than the time allotted.
• If an Auto submit is recorded, the Event Log's Date Submitted column will indicate when the automatic submission occurred.  However, in the Total Scores screen, the Submit Date column will indicate when the student last saved content in the assessment.
• The Duration column indicates how much time elapsed between when the student began taking the assessment and when it was actually submitted; it might NOT be an accurate indicator of how much time the student actually spent working on the assessment, especially in the case of an automatic submission.

Below are screen shots with examples of the email notifications you'll receive if you've selected to receive email for submissions from Tests & Quizzes.  There are several types of notifications, corresponding to the different ways in which an assessment can be submitted:

1. Manual submission: A student clicks the Submit for Grading button on the Assessment Submission Warning screen to confirm submitting an assessment.
2. Timer submission: The timer expires on a timed assessment and automatically submits the assessment for the student.
3. Automatic submission: An instructor has configured an assessment to Autosubmit saved student work after latest acceptance date, unless student has previously submitted.  A student saves content in the assessment and exits it before the latest acceptance date, so the assessment remains In Progress.  The saved assessment is automatically submitted at the latest acceptance date provided no other attempt has been submitted.
