Tip:
Completing the General Feedback section when the quiz is created takes more initial time. The benefit is when you grade the answers - your feedback is shown to the student at the time the quiz is allowed for review. This instant feedback eliminates questions (emails) from students as to why they received the mark they did, as well as gives you the criteria for marks given.
