Give your class credit for an item part

Updated 19 Feb 2024

Occasionally there may be an issue with an item part question in a standard Mastering assignment. Instructors and section instructors with Gradebook privilege can grant full credit for a part to all students in the course—regardless of whether students tried to answer the part. Once you grant full credit for a part, you can't undo this action.

  • Assignments with late penalties — The late penalty doesn’t apply to the part for which you grant full credit.
  • Timed assignments — You can grant full credit for a part in a timed assignment, including after its due date.
  • Pooled assignments — In pooled assignments, students receive a random subset of the items from each pool in the assignment. If you grant credit for a part, the credit is applied only to students who actually receive the item containing that part.

When you grant full credit for a part, any student work on that part remains for you to review. When you remove an item from an assignment, any student work on the item is lost, including if you had granted credit for a part.
