Do quizzes not present the question type to the student?

Question

Seems obvious but preview does not show such:  In a quiz with both multiple choice and multiple select, does the quiz not indicate the question type?  If it doesn't, which would seem to be pretty brain-dead, then we need to type in "select all that apply" each time, right?  Searched for this repeatedly and couldn't find an answer.  Thanks.

Hi  @john_svoboda ‌

I just tested this, and no Canvas does not label question type for students. That is likely why I have always clarified this in the actual items - it had just been too long since I checked.

Also, please note that the only true student view of a quiz in Canvas is to do so as the Test Student (or as a dummy student), by going into settings and clicking "Student View". Preview won't do it.
