for TAs
TAs must be added as a guest student in the class to have this student view option. Please send a note to questhelp@austin.utexas.edu with your eid and unique of course you want to be added to, or request/approve yourself for the class. TAs/LAs/limited TAs/other course support members will not be charged for Quest in the class they assist as long as you send us a note with your UT eid and course unique that you are supporting in the first two weeks of class. Please reach out to us at: quest.billing@cns.utexas.edu
To view what your students are seeing, click on the small blue 'student' icon in the upper right hand corner (older code base) or select student underneath shortcuts.
This will take you to what a student will see and suspend your instructor features. Notice that when you are in student mode, it will say 'instructor' in the corner (as a vehicle to return to that functionality). To return to instructor view, click 'instructor' in the upper right hand corner (or underneath shortcuts).
When you are in instructor mode, 'student' will be displayed in the upper right hand corner.
We realize this is confusing and are working on a better way to signpost which view you are currently in. Between student and instructor, the functionality is significantly different–as an instructor you can do nearly anything with your course and will be given many more options–the side bar will be full of actions one could take. As a student, you can only see published homeworks and respond to them; the side bar is a fraction of the size and limited to essentials.
TAs
Because of randomization of questions and parameters within problems it's common for each student to see something slightly different on assignments. There are two ways to drill down into what a particular student is seeing/has submitted for an assignment, through 1) Answer Key OR 2) student grades from an assignment's left side bar.
1) Answer Key - go to a specific assignment, and click 'answer key' on the left side bar. This will pull up a listing of students; to see exactly what a specific student saw, click on their name, and their assignment (and submitted answers thus far) will be pulled up.
2) Student Grades-presents a large spreadsheet of the full roster of the students with hyperlinked grades for different types of assignments (learning modules, homeworks, exams, etc). Identify the assignment and student you want to look more closely at, find it on the spreadsheet, and click on the score for that assignment for the specific student. This too will pull up that particular student's assignment and submissions.
