[LON-CAPA-users] student access to previous answers

[John Merrill]

Hmmm.  I can imagine an argument for not presenting past wrong answers, 
though it would definitely be a philosophical thing:

First, remember that they don't get charged for identical wrong answers 
(as far as I know). Maybe the philosophy _against_  showing previous 
wrong answers could be that you want them thinking through what the 
answer SHOULD be, not by process of elimination what it must be. On the 
other hand, arguing _for_ divulging, might be that finally finding out 
what the correct answer is by process of elimination could constitute a 
formative process, leading to some learning, after all.
