Is It Possible to Set the Reduced Scoring Rate to 0%?

Thank you in advance for any help on this matter.

The Drop Down menu for this only goes down to 10%.

Seems like maybe this is possible, but only on the server level?

We have some instructors that want students to be able to review problems they have missed and rework them, without changing their grade in WeBWorK.

"Guest Access" doesn't allow a student to see what problems they have missed or so work a problem them missed with the same randomization that they received originally.

Currently, it seems that once a HW set's due date is passed it is no longer possible for a student to see the individual problems to look at ones they did not get correct....Or maybe I am missing something?

Thank you!

Hi Michael,

The normal behavior is that after a due date, a student can still visit the problem set. (Although it may appear further down on their list of assignments). When they do this, they can see their score on each problem.

And then if they visit a problem, the "Submit answers" button has become a "Check answers" button. Students can enter an answer and click to be assessed as correct or not. But the submission is not recorded, and there is no effect on scores.

If this isn't happening, then something has been put in place to deviate from the normal behavior.

Or if the instructor would like all this to happen, but also have the attempts be recorded, then maybe there is a way to do that. I'll wait to see about the above first.

Thank you for the reply Alex. Sincerely appreciated.

We have instructors reporting students not being able to look at HW after the Due Date, but admittedly, I posted my question before I was able to verify those reports.

It is helpful to know about the default behavior. I have still yet to confirm whether we have classes that are deviating from this, for whatever reason.
