[LON-CAPA-users] problem status with out showing solution

[Lars Jensen]

Hi Ray and Stefan,

If I just open the set again, because the exam questions were set to 
"Exam type" the questions are multiple choice. That means that the 
students know the answer is one of the 4 remaining choices on the exam, 
and they can just try each of them. They can do this even if I change 
the exam to problem set style. So I'll have to either (i) give them only 
a single try on the wrong problems in the make-up phase, or (ii) create 
a second copy of the exam with whole new seeds for the problems.

The problem with both (i) and (ii) is that a problem that was left blank 
on the exam (no bubble) has no tries while a wrongly answered problem 
has used 1 try, so I can't just set maxtries=2 (and the due date in the 
future), I'll have to do some extra manual work. If I could set 
maxtries=0 (and the due date in the future) on the exam, I could solve 
this by creating a copy of the exam (in problem set style), set "show 
problem status" to No for the copy, and have the students submit a new 
answer.

Stefan, I agree with everything in your last email.

The easiest thing for me may be to go in and manually edit the exam to 
set all student tries on all the unanswered exam problems too 1, then 
set maxtries=1 and the duedate in the future. Then create the second 
folder for the re-make.
