The standard Setting for all Online Working Paper activities is “Grade it Now.” This setting allows students to attempt the problem multiple times IF alternate versions of the problem exist. All Work Together and On Your Own problems only offer one version of each problem, therefore, they revert to the “Standard” Aplia setting. That means that students get one attempt at each problem. They can receive feedback and their score after they submit the assignment. Once the assignment is submitted, the grade will feed to your gradebook in the Progress App. Learn more about Online Working Paper Assignment Types here. Because the “Standard” setting only allows students to have one attempt at a question, you may want to go to Learn how to allow Multiple Attempts. Work Together and On Your Own problems will only cover skills learned in that particular lesson of the chapter.Back to Table of Contents^Viewing FeedbackWith the “Standard” setting, students can view feedback on the assignment after they submit.

Otherwise, they revert to “Standard.”) Students can attempt up to three different versions of each question and will receive immediate grading and feedback. Randomized: (only available for problems with multiple data sets, or labeled as “Randomized”. Otherwise, they revert to “Standard.”) Students will have one attempt at each question. Each student will see different versions of each question. Grading will occur at deadline.Standard: Students will have one attempt at each question. Each student will see the same version of each question. Grading will occur at deadline.Unlimited: Students receive unlimited attempts and immediate feedback. Scores do not become part of their course grade.The Default setting for all Aplia assignments (Working Papers, End of Chapter Questions, Chapter and Part Tests, Reinforcement Activities) is “Grade it Now.” NOTE that Grade it Now only provides students with multiple attempts if the problem has multiple data sets. This ONLY applies to the Application, Mastery, and Challenge problems labeled as “RANDOMIZED.” Learn more about these problems here. Therefore, most assignments will revert to the “Standard” delivery type, which means that students get one attempt at each assignment and their grade will flow to the gradebook upon submittal. To allow students multiple attempts, learn how to do that here. To make sure students don’t view feedback until after the due date, learn how to do that here.
