Sometimes a student makes a mistake and wants to restart. At present, he must complete the exercise before he can repeat it. Some students put random answers to the remaining questions just to get out of the exercise. This viciates the data on wrong answers. Is there a way to quit an exercise without completing it?
Hello Prem,
Thank you for your message. However, quitting an exercise in the middle should be easily done by hitting the X button on the upper left corner of the exercise window, like the image below shows:
However, quitting the exercise like this won't reset the exercise from start, if that is what you mean. In other words, there is no "Restart Button".
This is something that we have debated internally since it was initially brought up and with a wide range of team members, and we have decided against implementing a restart button. We want to encourage growth mindset and learning on our platform, and a “Restart Button” would not encourage that.
We want to encourage all learners to see that getting problems wrong or not getting 100% on the first try is one of the most important parts of learning--even if that error was a simple calculation mistake, it teaches us to be more diligent.
I hope this helps, but please let me know if you need anything else!
Kind regards,
Alex
