Is there a way to include a question on Classic Quizzes where students can input their birthday?
Right now I just have an essay question so they can type it out, but I was hoping for one with less room for error.
Hey @SamGrimaldi!
One way to ask this question with very little room for error is to use the Multiple Dropdowns question type.
How do I create a Multiple Dropdown quiz question?
You can create one drop down for the month, another for the day, and a third one for the year. Therefore, the only room for error is if the students select the incorrect item in one or more of the dropdown menus.
You may need to include many years in the Year drop down menu depending on the age range of your students.
You will need to select a "correct" answer for each of the drop downs, but I would include some details in the directions for the questions stating that a correct answer is required to be chosen for each of the dropdown menus, but a correct or incorrect answer does not matter for this question. Also, if this question is part of a quiz that students will be graded on, I would suggest making this question worth 0 (zero) points so it will not affect the overall score in any way.
Hope this helps. Feel free to reply with any questions.
Thank you, this is what I ended up doing. The year drop down was a bit tedious but it works.

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
