Adding questions to an assignment is the same for almost all assignment types.

University of Texas Instructors

Only multiple choice questions are currently allowed on bubble sheet exams, however they can be set as manually graded items to allow for other question types. If you would like help with this feature, simply email us at questhelp@austin.utexas.edu . Be sure to include your UT eid in any email correspondence please.


First select Add Item from the assignment page:


The next page that loads is the search menu for the question banks available to each user.

Browsing by section:

Each public bank is broken up into chapters and sections with reasonably descriptive titles. Feel free to browse through them to find questions maintained by the staff at Quest. For more information about the sectioning, the table of contents for each bank is available here: Question Banks Table of Contents


Searching the banks:

All searches are not case-sensitive and include all appearances of the characters entered, e.g. searching for "in" will find "in", "Interaction", "Interference", etc.

by Question text within a specified bank:

Searches the whole body of the question, but not the code portion of TeX questions.

by Title within a specified bank:

Searches the titles of the questions in the specified bank.

by Tag within a specified bank:

Searches the tags associated with questions in the specified bank. We encourage all editors to use appropriate keywords to make searches easier, however not all authors do so.

by ID:

Searches for the specified item ID from all of the questions in the database, not by bank.




Search by your set criteria. The Results will be in the lower left quadrant.


Once you have your search results, you have options! Use the tags to deselect any that you do not want to consider (ex: if you only want questions with number randomization, make sure that the 1 unique instance tag is red). 

This will yield only questions with multiple instance variations featuring different numbers for different students.


View results in the most agreeable way for you-–a table listing, scan through all of them like a flipbook, or have a vertical list of question images that you can add to the assignment. The preview individual questions clicked on will show in the lower right quadrant.


Scan view:

You can also see if this question has been used by others at your institution using the Preview, History tab.  If there is nothing in that tab, it means no one at your institution has used the selected question.



Once you've added the items you'd like on the assignment, simply click "Done" on the right side to go back to the assignment view.
