Question Parts Submission Rule

If the Assignment Submission rule at the top of your assignment reads For this assignment, you submit answers by question parts, the number of submissions for each answer box is counted independently. The number of submissions remaining changes only if you submit a new or changed answer.

For different Assignment Submission rules, see either Questions Submission Rule or Entire Assignment Submission Rule.

With this rule:

  • Each question part can have a different number of allowed submissions.
  • Each time you submit your answers, only question parts with new or changed answers are submitted.
  • No submissions are used for question parts that you did not change.

Tip
  • Don't wait until the last minute to submit your answers.
  • Some questions award bonus or penalty points based on when you submit your answers or how many submissions you use.

    You might receive fewer points if you change a correct answer, submit it, and then submit your original answer again. This applies even when "best" grading is used.
