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

[Itay]

Mark and Susan,

Thank you for the quick reply.
I will forward these suggestions to the lecturer (+ will document it for future reference :-)

I am curious to see it there will be other suggestions; perhaps a direct way to actually re-initialize a problem.
BTW, I did not mention it in the original post: we accept that if problems can be re-initialized, previous work on them will be lost.

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.
