[Using Sakai] Changing System Wide Test and Quiz Defaults

[David McPherson]

Thanks...this is what I was just finding out to be true.  This will at  
least give us the ability to "correct" some of the settings that we  
would like to change.  We can investigate some of the quick create  
settings some more.

Cheers,
Dave
