Rework an assignment for credit
Updated 29 Aug 2024
Your instructor can reset a Mastering assignment for one or more students to retake the assignment. Most Mastering assignments can be reset, including the parent for Adaptive Follow-Ups. Learning Catalytics assignments cannot be reset.
See below for details about reset assignments. If you're unsure why an assignment was reset, please contact your instructor.
- You must redo the entire assignment. Items cannot be reset individually.
- Any work you did earlier on the assignment will no longer be available to you or your instructor.
- When you rework the assignment for credit, it may contain the same items, different items, or a different order of items than you may have seen before in the same assignment. Questions with randomized values may be only slightly different. (See below for more detail.) Any reset Adaptive Follow-Up assignment presents the same question set items.
- Any feedback you submitted about item questions before the reset is retained. More about your question feedback
- Select Scores from the course menu.
- Look in the Notes column for the assignment on the Scores page.
The Notes column for any reset assignment provides the following information:
"This assignment was reset on <date> at <time>."
After you check to see whether your instructor has reset an assignment (see above), look for the reset assignment in the Upcoming Assignments area of your Course Home so you can work on it.
If you don't see the assignment listed: Please contact your instructor to let him or her know. (It's possible that the instructor needs to adjust the availability dates of that assignment for you.)
The structure of the question remains the same in the reset assignment. However, one or more values (whether a number or other information) in the question is different. So the correct answer is also different.
You may also be able to rework assignment items for practice.
