What to do while your quiz is muted

A Canvas quiz muted notice can leave you unsure what your instructor expects you to know. Rather than guessing, you can rebuild the material yourself and test your recall on the exact topics from class.

Generate practice questions from the slides or notes your instructor shared.
Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer to test different kinds of recall.
Read the explanation after each answer to fix misunderstandings quickly.
Review missed questions with spaced repetition flashcards before the next attempt.

Example cell biology practice questions

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. Oxidative phosphorylation in the inner membrane generates most of the cell's ATP.

What is the main function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?Synthesizing and folding proteins for secretion or membranes, because ribosomes are attached to its surface.

True or false: plant cells lack mitochondria.False. Plant cells have mitochondria and also chloroplasts for photosynthesis.

Why does a cell swell when placed in a hypotonic solution?Water moves into the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration inside is higher than outside.

In which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?S phase, because DNA synthesis happens there before the cell enters mitosis.

Compare your answer with the explanation provided after each question. If you were wrong, rewrite the explanation in your own words and retest the same idea a day or two later.

Can DeckOwl unmute or change my Canvas quiz?
