A class from 2017 that I completed is still showing in my dashboard and I can't figure out how to remove it. All other past enrolled classes automatically moved there. Is this something the professor needs to do?
I am trying to copy a test from a prior class (2023) to two new ones. When copied, the test does not allow edits and does not show the questions as editable. It reads Build, in fact.

The quiz grades have been released, but the students cannot see their own answers. I can think of two possible approches; (1) retrospectively change the settings (probably won't work),…
