23. You can choose to automatically create an announcement letting your students know about the survey using Add a New Announcement for this Survey.
24. Choose whether or not to allow Multiple Attempts. Please note that if you do not allow multiple attempts, if a technical error causes a student to get locked out of the survey you may need to clear their attempt for them to complete the survey. You can decide whether students are allowed unlimited attempts or a set number.
25. Choose whether or not to Force Completion. If this is turned on, the students cannot save their work and return later.
