WebCT Tip #11 - Resetting an Assessment

If you ever have the need to reset an exam attempt for an individual student or students, follow these steps:

  1. From the Teach Tab of your course, click Assessment Manager
  2. Pull down the Action Link next to the assessment in question and choose “View Submissions”
  3. Next to the date and time of a student attempt, pull down the Action Link and choose “Reset Attempt”
  4. You will receive a pop-up message asking if you are sure you want to reset. Click “OK”.

[Note 1: If the assessment is set up to allow multiple attempts and you want to reset all attempts for a particular student, check the box next to the student’s name then click “Reset Entire Submission” then click “OK” at the popup.]

[Note 2: If the assessment submission date has passed, be sure to Edit Properties in your assessment to reflect new dates. Otherwise, your “reset” student will not be able to access the assessment.]
