As TAs you have the same features available to you as the professor, your access will just end when the semester closes, so please peruse the Instructor help pages for all the classics, like:

Student eids may need to be reconciled in the Quest system.

Use the exam dashboard to monitor your students in real time while taking the test.
If needing to reset time after the test has already closed, please navigate to the assignment, on the left side bar: answer key, select the student, and click the reset timer button. The student will still need a late submit to access the assignment.

Please consult these pages to print and scan bubblesheets–there is a scanner in the Quest office PMA (RLM) 15.320G (open 9:30-5:30, M-F), as well as in the math departmental office (PMA 8th floor, east hallway, 8-5pm, closed noon-1pm, M-F)
