Deleting an Attempt when a Student Experiences some type of Disruption on a Quiz
Description
If a student says to you that while taking their quiz there was a power surge, disruption in their internet connection, or some other issue, you can easily delete their quiz attempt to allow them to take the quiz again. You want to verify that the student is telling the truth by seeing exactly what they have done on the quiz before resetting it. For example, a student may say, “I got to the last question and my internet died.” You can verify that the student had actually answered all the questions except the last one by viewing their quiz as if you were that student. Once you have verified they are telling the truth, can you delete their attempt.
