Hi Simon,
If the quiz is set to allow the students to take a quiz more than once then
to my knowledge, the new score overwrites previous scores. However, from the
sounds of it I don't think this is the root cause of this problem. The only
other thing I can think of at the moment is if the quiz had an expiry date
on it, though I still don't think this would affect things since I have
found that you can 'hide' a quiz and still retain the marks. I wonder if it
is connected with the reminder? Not having played with this function I'm not
sure what its doing so can't comment.
If a quiz is set to only allow a student to take a quiz once and they
accidentally click the back button say, they get locked out as having taken
the quiz. If this has happened, then no score will appear and if there is a
connection to this reminder option, I wonder if this has affected the
recording of the blank results?
regards
Paul

Hi
Can anyone help on this one?

----------
Students on module MIC220, using self-assessment tests on
Blackboard, have experienced a curious problem. Three weeks ago
they did the first quiz, and I printed out their grade sheet - there was a
mark for every student. Today I checked the record again and was
surprised to find that the sheet now showed a lot of students without
marks . At a meeting with the students I was told that several of them,
on starting quiz 2, received an automatic reminder that they had not
attempted quiz 1, although they had. These are the people whose
marks have disappeared from the grade sheet.
Has "spontaneous" disappearance of data from the grade sheets
been reported from elsewhere? The students do not believe they have
done anything abnormal. Is it possible that if some of them attempt a
quiz more than once, the complete grade sheet updates to the second
attempt and omits the first attempt of all students, even those who
haven't repeated? If that is the explanation, is there any way round it? -
we want them to be able to try as many times as they like.
