Remove or replace questions in an assignment

You can remove or replace questions in an assignment after students have worked on it:

  1. In the Assignment Manager, find the assignment, select the 3-dot Options the three dot options menu icon menu, and Remove Questions or Replace Questions.

    These options do not display when no student has worked on the assignment. Select Edit to change questions in assignments without results.

  2. Select either the Remove Question tab or the Replace Question tab.
  3. Select the questions to remove or replace.
    • To remove a question, select Remove Question.
    • To replace a question, select Replace Question and choose the replacement.
  • If any students previously submitted the assignment, the removed questions are automatically scored as correct and assignment scores are automatically adjusted.
  • Students must attempt a removed homework question at least once to be scored as correct.
  • Students automatically get full credit for the removed questions, but they cannot work or review these questions.
  • When students get a late-submission penalty, they are given full credit for removed questions minus the penalty.
  • Removing questions does not affect omitted results.
  • You cannot remove individual exercises from question pools.
  • When you copy a preloaded assignment with removed questions, you can choose whether to include the removed questions in the copied assignment.
  • In course groups, questions removed from an assignment in the coordinator course are not removed in the member courses.
  • You cannot remove questions in media-only assignments or assignments done outside the student player, such as Learning Catalytics and writing assignments.
  • You can replace a question only once.
  • You cannot replace all of the questions in an assignment. At least one original question must remain.
  • Scores are not adjusted for students who have already completed their assignment.
  • Students who have already worked on the assignment see the new question when they make a new attempt.
  • Students who already have a score for a replaced question and get a lower score on the replacement are prompted to choose which score to save.
  • When students answered the replaced question and review, they are asked whether they want to do the replacement question. Their answer on the replacement question does not affect their score.
  • You cannot replace questions in media-only assignments, interactive reading assignments, or assignments done outside the player, such as Learning Catalytics and writing assignments.
  • In course groups, questions replaced in the coordinator course are not inherited by the member courses.
  • When you copy a course or an assignment, only the replacement questions appear in the copied assignment.
