If your account is newly created by Collin, you can just import the students from the list file uploaded by Collin (see the second half of the following video).
Warning: The following method is only for persons who know what they are doing. Do not try it if you are not such a person because we do not want to burden Collin and Michael with unnecessary extra work.
If you want to use your existing account for a new class, you can use Excel script to generate the list file from the class roster downloaded from the Faculty Dashboard. You can simply insert a column in the roster file and generate the contents using the following script. (It is for the 2nd row. You can populate it to all rows by drag the lower-right corner of (2,1) cell down.)
Note that in the script, "001" is for the section 001. You can change to your section if you want. In particular, if you teach two sections, you need to give different names for different sections.
Alternatively, you can download (right click) the excel file roster.xlsx, paste the first 4 columns of your roster file to roster.xlsx, and populate the script in the 1st column:
You can also put two classes into one account, just give them different "Section"s in the Excel script, generate 2 list files, and import the students from both list files. When you make the homework sets, give them names that clearly indicate for which classes. I found out that by adding the Google Chrome extension Multicheck Checkbox Checker to the Chrome browser, I can easily assign one homework set to all the students in one class, but not in the other class, by dragging the mouse.
For your class not using Webwork, you can still import the students to your Wdbork account and use Webwork email to send individual emails (for example, send each students their test scores).Dear $FN:
Your test 1 score is $COL[20]/150.
Please feel free to email me if you have any question.

Test Time Limit | The time limit for the student to take a version of the test. For example, if it is set to be 60, then the student must finish a version of the test in an hour during the time period when the test is open. | |||
Cap Test Time at Set Close Date? | Whether or not allow student to finish the test when the test is closed. "Yes" means that the student can not continue when the test is closed. "No" means that student can continue until the end of test time limit. | |||
Number of Graded Submissions per Test | Always set it to 1. | |||
|
They define the number of different versions of test allowed in a given time interval.
For example, assume the test is open for 24 hours. If the Time Interval for New Test Versions is 120 and the Number of Tests per Time Interval is 1, then technically a student can take 12 versions of the test, i.e. take one version every 2 hours. If the Time Interval for New Test Versions is 1440 (24 hours) or larger, or infinity (represented by 0), and Number of Tests per Time Interval is 3, then a student can take 3 versions of the test. |
There are two ways to choose a problem for a test:
The 1st way is exactly like a homework set, i.e. choosing the problem using the Library Browser.
To use the 2nd way, we need first to make the problem groups using the Library Browser, just like to make the homework sets. Of course, we can use the existing homework sets as the problem groups. In the following video, I'll choose one random problem in each of the 9 homework sets to make up a 9-problem test.
