[LON-CAPA-users] How to generate a new version of homework problem for a particular student

[Susan Masten]

Mark,

Thanks. At least in the past, LON-CAPA didn't seem to like weights set 
at 0, so I discovered I could trick it by setting it to something like 
0.001 or 0.0001.

Then set the weight for that student to 0.0001 in the original folder. Then you don't have to remember. This also works for "extra credit" assignments and still allows students to see their grade in the gradebook on LON-CAPA.
