What was the question type parameter set to for Student 1, 2 and 3 for <br>
the first question in the corresponding Pre-lab folders? Were the <br>
assignments republished in the time between each student's first <br>
access and last access? What do the submissions record for these <br>
students show for the award made for each problem part in question 1 <br>
for the initial attempt?<br>

<br>
My recommendation would be to retrieve each student's activity log in <br>
the course, and to view the transactions recorded for this particular <br>
assignment in the appropriate time window. If there were "critical" <br>
transactions (e.g., storage of submission data) completed on an access <br>
server which could not be sent to the library server, those will be <br>
recorded in /home/httpd/perl/logs/lonnet.perm.log on the access server.<br>

By logs, do you mean the web server's access logs?<br>
