Turning off previous submitted answers for a returning student?

Turning off previous submitted answers for a returning student?

Hello all,

I have a student who is returning to repeat the same course after failing last semester. When she attempts the homework in Webwork this semester with the course the same except for the section number, all her previous submissions are still in place, appearing in each answer box. Is there a way that I can turn this off for her?  

We both want her to take the problem sets anew and not to be distracted or persuaded by the entries of last semester.

Thanks,   Tim

Could you provide a little more detail as to what happened between last semester and now:
Is this the same WeBWorK course?
Was her account deleted and then re-added, or simply carried forward?
How were the new questions assigned to her?  Was the set unassigned and then reassigned, or did you simply change the due dates?

Based on my knowledge, if her past answers are showing up, I would also expect her progress and used attempts to be carried forward.  Is this the case?

I think the solution is simply to un-assign the student from each assignment and then re-assign the student to each assignment.

This seemed to work. as all of the student's previous attempts are now gone.
