We’ve tried hard to set boundaries on the data the students can input so it’s not totally out in left field, but for example we have a lab with unknown solutions where the students have to tell which unknown they’re working with: 1, 2 or 3. Wouldn’t you know that somehow a student inputs 2 when it should have been 3 which throws off all subsequent Lon-Capa feedback on their results. Is there any way, once that answer has been submitted and graded as correct by Lon-Capa, to go back and remove the answer or even reset the lab itself to give the student a fresh start?
