EXAMS: How can I schedule exams in Events?

Overview

The Coursedog platform allows for the scheduling of exams within the Event Scheduling system. Scheduling an exam in Events entails three overarching steps: 

1. Creating an "Exam Event Type".
2. Creating a form for the event.
3. Adding exams.

Creating an Exam Event Type

PATH: Events > Settings > Event Types

 

Step One: Select "+ Add Event Type"

 

Step Two: Input a name, e.g. "Exam Event", and description.

 

Step Three: Select a color (this indicates what color your event will appear as on your calendar).

 

Step Four: Click "Add New Event Type".
