Scenario:
Deadline for assignment 1 has passed and the answers are displayed. Student
X comes to the instructor with medical documentation suggesting that student
was not able to complete assignment 1 because of some medical issue. The
instructor agrees to consider the extenuating circumstances and extend the
deadline for that particular student. However, since the answers for the
version of the problem that Student X had before the deadline have been
displayed, a new random version of the problem should be generated as well.
Extending the deadline and/or number of tries is easy. How does the
instructor force a new random version of the problem to be generated?
Extending the deadline and/or doing a "reset_status" in the grading rubric
seems to have no effect. Is there some trick to making this happen?
Thanks,
Jay
