About Tests in Canvas

Canvas uses the word "Assignment" to describe any graded item that is handed in to the professor in class, including assignments, quizzes, and exams. This can be confusing. This is the standard kind of test most professors use.

When Canvas uses the word "Quiz," it means a test that students take online, within Canvas, using a web browser.
