[LON-CAPA-users] how to force new randomization for student

[Ray Batchelor]

Hi  Jay,
              Good question.  This has been something that has come up since 
the early CAPA days.  There may be several ways to approach this and I 
believe none of them is formally instituted in either PARM or PGRD (which 
would be a good enhancement request  ;-)

Guy will correct me, at this point.

:-)

Anyway  I can tell you a somewhat less-than-leasant workaround if you need an 
immedite  solution.

Cheers,
Ray
