Many problems have a solution that can be viewed after an
assignment is closed. An unfortunate bug
<strong>delays notice of the availability of a Solution</strong>.
<br/><br/>
While viewing a problem
(<strong>after an assignment has closed</strong>),
check the <em>Show Correct Answers</em> box and click on the
<em>Check Answers</em> button. If redisplay of the problem
then shows <em>Solution</em> (underlined) at the bottom of the
problem, you can click on that to read the problem's solution.

Notes: this bug does not delay display for an instructor --- the bug only affects a student. I look forward to the day when I can replace that message with something more benign.
