[LON-CAPA-users] automatically decrease point value with number of attempts

[lira]

I have not done this at the assessment level, only at the student level, but
I expect it is the same.

At the top of the page,  see the box to the right of 'Save' and above 'Save
and Make This Sheet the Default'. That is where you save the new sheet with
a new name. If you want every resource to use the same rules, you can make
it the default.  I have only configured the default sheet at the student
level.

I am going to speculate here and make a suggestion. Try this:

Go to the assessment level, enter the desired formulas and change the name
to something like 'decreasing_score' and click 'Save'.
Then, go back to the Student level sheet (Look for the link just above the
assessment table.)
Now look at each assessment. There is a dropdown in the 'Asessment' column
that specifies which assessment sheet is to be used for that assessment.

Please share if it works.

Where do I associate an assessment spreadsheet with a given assignment if I
don't want to just use the default assessment spreadsheet for the course
with it? I'm still not seeing how to do that. Thank you!
