9. The Layout section allows teachers to choose the pagination of questions. The number of questions that appear on a screen can be determined in the New page pop-up. Teachers can also choose the navigation as Free or Sequential.
10. The Question behaviour section allows teachers to shuffle choices within the questions and provide feedback using the Adaptive mode, Deferred feedback, Immediate feedback, or Interactive with multiple tries, based on the student’s performance.
11. The Review options section offers a wide variety of choices, such as whether students can review immediately after their attempts, later while the Quiz is still open, or after it has been closed. Teachers can use these options to set whether students can view marks, general, specific or overall feedback, or the right answer.
12. The Appearance section allows teachers to show or hide the user's picture, as well as set the number of decimal places in grades and in questions.
