We are having an intermittent problem with problem sets.

When a professor makes a local copy of a problem from the library and makes changed, most of the students receive the change. However, a few do not, and point at the old copy that is still in the library.

Has anyone else seen this issue, or have a fix for it?

Thanks, Mark

I've not seen it yet and I make this kind of change frequently. Is it possible that some students are seeing copies cached by their browsers?

What I have done from time to time is to think I've changed something, but I'm still editing the temporary copy and haven't "commited" it yet. That means that I see one thing and all of the students in the course see the old copy. I'm getting better at noticing the red and green messages so i don't make that mistake as much any more. :-)
