Hi J...
Good question...was hoping someone would have proposed a better work around
here, but it appears it is not yet possible in the way you might have hoped.
How have things been going otherwise? let me know how things are going when
you get the chance...
cheers,
~Jeff

this question has been posed before to the list:<br>
<br>
Is there anyway to create a practice assignment? I would like to post a
sequence of problems for students to practice in preparation for an exam.
Obviously I do not want the problems to be graded so I can set the weight
of the problems to 0.<br>
<br>
But in addition I would like the students to be able to repeat problems,
even if they get them correct, so that they may practice the problem
solving skills with different (randomly generated) input and numbers. It
would be like the capability the author and course coordinator have to
generate new randomizations, but at the student level.<br>
<br>
Suggestions?<br>
<br>
Thnx,<br>
