Google Classroom Quiz Assignment vs. Assignment with a Quiz

Have you ever wondered what is the difference between a Quiz Assignment in Google Classroom and an Assignment with a quiz (created on a Google form)? The actual quiz is the same, but if you want to easily transfer grades between Google Classroom and Aspen, then a Quiz Assignment is the best choice. Below is explained the difference between the two, and a third option that allows you to take a previously made quiz and turn it into a Quiz Assignment.

Quiz Assignment - The quiz is created in a Google form that is provided within the assignment.

1. Create a quiz with the form provided.
   
2. In the assignment window, select Grade Importing.
   
3. When the quiz is done, go to Student Work and select Import Grades.
   
4. The grades will go next to the student’s name just like grades that you manually enter in a regular assignment. You don’t need to go to the responses.
   
5. If you use Grade Transferer Chrome extension, you can transfer the grades to Aspen.
