INSTRUCTIONS:
- Go to your quiztest site. It should be something like http://mnstats.morris.umn.edu//cgi-bin/quiznew?/quiztest.cgi
Create a list of Authorized Students
1. Quiztest has the ability to let the instructor set which students are allowed to take which tests. This can help in keeping track of grades for all of the students and for making sure the right students are taking the correct quizzes when they log on to the site.
2. Open up a new spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel. For entering most of the following data, it will be quickest to cut and paste the information from another spreadsheet on your computer with the course enrollment information on it.
3. Enter in the email addresses of all students that will be using the software into one column of the spreadsheet.

4. In the column next to the email addresses of the students, put the ì | ì character. It is usually located on the same key as the backslash, right above ìEnterî.

5. In the next column, put in a password for the each student. Whether you assign them the passwords or ask for them at the beginning of the course doesnít matter, just as long as they know what their individual password is.

a. Type (at the telnet prompt) ì cd public_htmlî.

11. You should now have a blank document on the screen. Go back to your Excel file and copy the info that you entered into the spreadsheet, and paste it into the telnet window.
