Science:Infinite Series Module/Units/Unit 1/1.3 Infinite Series/1.3.06 Finding the Sum of an Infinite Series

2021-09-07T21:48:41Z

ChorYuenWong:

==Question==
Calculate the sum of the following series:

<math>\begin{align}2+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{32}+\ldots\end{align} </math>

== Solution ==

=== Step (1): Express in Sigma Notation ===

The first four terms in the series are

<math> \begin{align} 2 &= 2^1 \\
\frac{1}{2} &= 2^{-1} \\
\frac{1}{8} &= 2^{-3} \\
\frac{1}{32} &= 2^{-5} \\
\end{align} </math>

Each term in the series is the same multiple (<math>1/4</math>) of the previous term. Hence, the series is a geometric series with common ratio <math>r= 1/4</math> and first term <math>a=2</math>:

<math> \begin{align} 2+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{32}+\ldots = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} ar^{k-1}=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} 2 \Big(\frac{1}{4}\Big)^{k-1}\end{align} </math>

===Step (2): Apply Summation Formula===

<math> \begin{align} \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} 2{\Bigl( \frac{1}{4} \Bigr)}^{k-1} = \frac{2}{1-1/4} = \frac{8}{3} \end{align} </math>

==Explanation of Each Step==
===Step (1)===
In any question where one must find the sum of a series given in the form

<math> \begin{align}a_1 + a_2 + a_3 + \ldots\end{align} </math>

where each term is positive, we must first convert the sum to sigma notation. Why? Because there are no methods (covered in the ISM) to compute an infinite sum otherwise.

There are no general methods to do this, but by looking for a patterns, one might want to look for a way to relate each term by a common base. In our example here, we found that each term in the series could be related to each other with a common ratio of 1/4.
===Step (2)===
Applying our summation formula with common ratio <math>1/4</math> and first term <math>a = 3</math> yields Step (2).
==Possible Challenges==
===Getting Started===
The question asks us to compute the sum of an infinite series, and there are only two ways we could do this. The only two series that have methods for which we can calculate their sums are geometric and telescoping. Since each term is positive, the sum is not telescoping. So the series must be geometric, which means we can get started by looking for a common ratio, <math>r</math>.

Documentation:WeBWorK/How to mute grades notifications and hide grades from the Canvas gradebook

2021-03-24T22:45:54Z

ChorYuenWong: /* How to mute and hide grades at the course-level */

If you have Canvas grade sync set up, WeBWorK will push all homework and exam grades over to the Canvas gradebook. To prevent students from being automatically notified of their grades, you can mute Canvas grades notifications and hide grades from the gradebook for all or some of your assignments/quizzes so students are unaware of their grades until you choose to post them.

There are two levels of the grades posting policy: the '''course-level posting policy''' applies to every assignment and quiz in the gradebook. If you want to apply a different posting policy for a specific assignment/quiz, you can apply an '''assignment-level posting policy''' which will override the course-level posting policy for that assignment/quiz. For example, you might choose to keep your course-level posting policy as '''Automatic''' (post grades and notify students as soon as the gradebook is updated), then use the assignment-level posting policy to set just your quizzes to '''Manual''' (hide grades and mute notifications until you post them).

'''Note:''' For exams, it is recommended that you set course and assignment posting policies '''before''' the exam starts. Also, once the exam is over, you should also [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to hide WeBWorK homework sets|hide the exam on WeBWorK]] so your students cannot access it.

Documentation:WeBWorK/How to reuse individual assignments from term-to-term

2021-03-24T22:31:29Z

ChorYuenWong: /* How to reuse individual assignments from term to term */

These instructions cover copying the WeBWorK assignments from a previously-offered course to a current or future course in nearly all cases.

If the previously-offered course you want to copy from includes customized problems that use locally-stored files in any of its WeBWorK assignments, please [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to reuse assignments with customized problems|follow these instructions instead]]. If you don't know what "customized problems" or "locally-stored files" means in this context, you can just follow the steps below.

== How to reuse individual assignments from term to term ==

# Log into the WeBWorK course of a previous term with your CWL.
# Click on '''Hmwk Sets Editor''' under ''Instructor Tools'' from the sidebar. This will display a list of all the homework sets in the course. Navigate to the '''Export''' tab, and using the dropdown menu, select whether to export all sets, visible sets, or selected sets. When exporting only selected sets, make sure to check off all the assignments you wish to copy over to the new course. Click the '''Take Action!''' button to proceed.
#:[[File:Webwork1.jpg|400px|centre|thumb|Export Homework Sets]]
# The new page that opens up will display the list of problem sets to be exported. Double-check the selected sets. Then, making sure you are still on the '''Save Export''' tab, click the '''Take Action!''' button again to complete the export. This will generate .def files of the homework sets in the File Manager.
# Select '''File Manager''' from the main menu on the left side of the page. Select the homework sets (the ones with '''.def''' beside them). If the .def files are scattered through the directory, you will have to hold down '''Ctrl key''' if you are using a Windows device or '''Command (Cmd) key''' if you are on a Mac, and click on each of the individual files to select multiple files at once. You may have noticed that the names of the generated files are a bit confusing. For instance, if you exported the homework set “Assignment 1” in the previous step, you will need to select “setAssignment_1.def” from the list of files. After you have selected all the homework sets, click '''Make Archive'''.
#:[[File:Webwork2jpg.jpg|400px|centre|thumb|Make archive.]]
# An archive file will be generated by WeBWorK (ending in '''.tgz'''). Look at the system prompt to see what the file name is. Select and download that file package.
#:[[File:Webwork4.jpg|400px|centre|thumb|Download .tgz file]]
# The next step is to upload these homework sets into the course for a new term. Log into the WeBWorK course for the new term via Canvas and then navigate to '''File Manager''' from the sidebar. Click '''Choose File''' and select the '''.tgz''' file with the previous homework sets. Before clicking on Upload, ensure that '''Unpack archives automatically''' has a checked box. Finally, click '''Upload'''. WeBWorK will extract the problem sets and add them to the course files.
#:[[File:Webwork5.jpg|400px|centre|thumb|Uploading questions into new termA]]
# The next step is to deploy the homework sets and assign them to students. Navigate to '''Hmwk Sets Editor''' from the sidebar and select the '''Import''' tab. Using the first drop-down menu, select "Multiple sets" to import, and select the homework sets you would like to deploy by holding '''Ctrl''' for Windows or '''Cmd''' for Mac, and clicking on the homework sets. You can keep the original set names and assign the homework sets to all student users. Finally, click the '''Take Action!''' button.[[File:Webwork6.jpg|400px|centre|thumb|Assigning homework to all students]]
#You '''MUST''' complete this step to make your homework sets visible to students in WeBWorK. Go to '''Hmwk Sets Editor''' from the left-hand sidebar and select the '''Publish''' tab. In the first drop-down menu, choose "all sets," if you want to publish all the sets. Otherwise, choose "selected sets," and then click the check boxes next to the sets you want to publish. In the second drop-down menu, choose "Visible." Finally, click the '''Take Action!''' button. Your homework sets are now visible to your students in WeBWorK. Note: To hide the sets from students, follow the same procedure in this Step 8, but choose "Hidden" in the second drop down menu. * If you want to sync the WeBWorK grades to the Canvas gradebook, [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to set up Canvas grade sync|follow the instructions here]].

# The next step is to upload the packaged files to the course for a new term. First, log into the WeBWorK course for the new term and then navigate to '''File Manager''' from the sidebar. Make sure that you are in the main directory of the File Manager, by expanding the drop-down menu at the top and then navigating to the main directory, which should be labelled as the name of the destination WeBWorK course.
#:[[File:Step7.jpg|link=|border|400x400px]]
# Click on '''Choose File''' and select the '''.tgz''' file from your computer. Before clicking on Upload, ensure that '''Unpack archives automatically''' and '''then delete them''' is '''checked off'''.
#* If it is the start of the term and you have not made any changes in the WeBWorK course, check off '''Overwrite existing files silently''' to ''replace'' the existing “Templates/” folder.
#* If there have been changes made in the WeBWorK course, leave the '''Overwrite existing files silently''' unchecked.
#:Finally, press '''Upload'''. If you left the '''Overwrite existing files silently''' unchecked, you will be prompted to rename the templates folder - you may come up with your own new name or leave the suggested name as is, and click '''Rename''' to upload the renamed template.
#:[[File:Step8.jpg|link=|border|400x400px]] [[File:Import custom problems rename template.png|link=|border|400x400px]]
# The last step is to deploy the homework sets and assign them to students. Navigate to '''Hmwk Sets Editor''' from the sidebar and select the '''Import''' tab. Using the first drop-down menu, select '''Multiple sets''' to import, and select the homework sets you would like to deploy by holding “'''Ctrl'''” for Windows or “'''Cmd'''” for Mac. You can keep the original set names and assign the homework sets to all student users. The process of assigning the homework sets to all student users may take a long time, so you can wait until it is closer to the starting date of the homework set before assigning it. Finally, click on the blue '''Take Action!''' button and you’re done!

Documentation:WeBWorK/How to import homework sets from set-definition files

2021-03-24T21:28:10Z

ChorYuenWong:

It is usually easier to upload all HW sets at once and configure all of the HW sets using pre-written definition files. By doing so, the instructors and TAs will not have to change the "parameters" of the incoming HW set every week, such as the start time and the due date of that set. All the parameters can be set automatically using the definition files beforehand. Moreover, if the instructor wants to reuse last term's questions for the same course, all he/she needs to do is slightly modify the definition files.

An example is provided here to illustrate the procedures. Suppose there are two HWsets: HW01 contains three questions: hw01-q1.pg, hw01-q2.pg and hw01-q3.pg; HW02 contains three questions: hw02-q1.pg, hw02-q2.pg and hw02-q3.pg. We now write the definition file for HW01: first create a new text file and copy the following lines of codes into the text file:

<blockquote>
setNumber= HW01 
openDate = 1/8/17 at 9:00pm 
dueDate = 1/17/17 at 9:00pm 
answerDate = 1/17/17 at 9:00pm 
paperHeaderFile = 
screenHeaderFile = 
problemList = 
HW01/hw01-q1.pg, 1, 2 
HW01/hw01-q2.pg, 1, 3 
HW01/hw01-q3.pg, 1, 2
</blockquote>

Here is the explanation of the above lines:

<blockquote>
setNumber = [Name of the homework set] 
openDate = [start date of the homework set] 
dueDate = [start date of the homework set] 
answerDate = [start date of the homework set] 
paperHeaderFile = [just keep this empty] 
screenHeaderFile = [just keep this empty] 
problemList =</code> 
[path to problem 1, score, max attempt] 
[path to problem 2, score, max attempt]
</blockquote>Save the file as '''setHW01.txt'''. After saving it, change the extension from '''.txt''' to '''.def'''. The final file name will be '''setHW01.def'''.

Following the same procedure, it is straightforward to write another definition file for HW02, setHW02.def. Please note that the name of the definition file must begin with "set", for example setHW01.def is a valid name, HW01.def is not valid and will not be recognized by the system.

With two HW sets and two definition files, it is suggested to compress them into a tar.gz file. Follow the procedures below to upload them on WeBWorK:

# Log in to your WeBWorK course.
# Navigate to '''File Manager''' area.
# Select the WeBWorK archive (.tgz file) you want to upload.
# Leave the settings as default.
# Click the '''Upload''' button. The archive will be uploaded, unpacked, and the archive file (.tgz) will be deleted on successful unpacking.

Once the uploading procedure is complete, the steps to use the two HW sets are below:

# Navigate to '''Hmwk Sets Editor''' area.
# Select the '''Import''' tab.
# Choose the set-definition files you'd like to import from.
# Optionally, give the two problem sets new names. If you don't enter names, the problem sets will be named after the set-definition files.
# Make sure that the settings are what you want and click the blue '''Take Action!''' button.

The two problem sets will show up under '''Homework Sets''' and the "parameters" of the sets are all set. If you have more than two HW sets, the procedure is pretty much similar to the above.

ChorYuenWong: /* Using VLOOKUP to import WeBWorK scores into Canvas: */

In some cases, you may want to manually import WeBWorK homework scores into your Canvas course. Information from WeBWorK cannot simply be copy/pasted into a spreadsheet and uploaded to Canvas. Therefore, an Excel function called '''VLOOKUP''' is required.

Below are instructions on how instructors can download homework scores from WeBWorK and import them into their Canvas course. This will require working with two Excel spreadsheets at the same time (WeBWorK and Canvas course CSV files).

== Downloading assignment scores from WeBWorK and uploading to Canvas ==
WeBWorK automatically grades each assignment, and calculates the total score on selected assignments for each student. You can select which assignment to include in the final scoring, and can download the scores at any time during the term. In some cases, you may also want to download the assignment scores and upload the grades to your Canvas course.

Please note that WeBWorK grades columns in your Canvas course are synchronized with WeBWorK. This means grades will be synchronized periodically from WeBWorK to Canvas. If you change the grades in your Canvas course, they will be overwritten by the next grade sync update. If you need to change students' grades in Canvas, you can upload them in a new grade column (see section "Upload it back to Canvas" for further instruction).

=== Downloading homework scores in a CSV file from WeBWorK: ===
# In your WeBWorK course, click '''Scoring Tools'''.
# You will see a box with 2 columns. In the left column, highlight all the homework sets with scores you want to download. To select multiple homework sets, press and hold ''Ctrl'' (in Windows) or press and hold ''Cmd'' key (in Mac), then click on the assignments.
# In the right column, deselect '''Pad Fields''' (make sure the box is unchecked). Make sure you select '''Record Scores for Single Sets''' if you want to download scores on individual assignments in addition to overall averages.
# You can change the file name in the text box below the right column. Click '''Score selected set(s) and save to''' to generate the CSV file.
# Click the download link under ''Totals'', and open the CSV file.

# In the Canvas CSV spreadsheet, add a '''comma''' after the second parameter value.
# Enter the value '''2''' followed by another '''comma''' in the Canvas CSV formula.
# Enter '''FALSE''' to find the exact match.
# Close the bracket of the formula and then press enter.[[File:UsingVlookup_gradesChange.png|link=|none|thumb|847x847px|Using VLOOKUP to edit grades]]
# Drag the fill handle all the way to the bottom.

# Save the file as a '''“'''Text CSV (.csv)'''”.'''
##'''Note:''' change the homework set name in the Canvas spreadsheet to a different name to avoid overwriting the original homework set grades in Canvas. Make sure you delete the number in brackets that comes after the assignment name in the same cell.

=== Upload it back to Canvas: ===
'''Note:''' if you upload the scores to the original assignment column in the Grades section of your Canvas course, it may be overwritten with WeBWorK updates. To avoid this, create a new grades column to upload the scores to.

ChorYuenWong: /* Providing a student with extra time AFTER they have started the exam already */

When conducting an online assessment using WeBWorK, you may need to extend the amount of time allowed for an individual student to complete a WeBWorK quiz. You can adjust this either before or after they start the exam.

== Providing a student with extra time BEFORE they start the exam ==
You can adjust the exam length ahead of the exam schedule for students with exam accommodation requirements. The exam accommodation may include students who registered with the Centre for Accessibility (also known as Access & Diversity) may require additional time for their exam.
<ol>
<li>In your WeBWorK course, click '''Hmwk Sets Editor'''.</li>
<li>Find your exam in the list, and click on the number under the ''Edit Assigned Users'' column.</li>
<li>Find the student you want to extend time for, and click on '''Edit data for xxxxx'''.</li>
<li>Check the box next to ''Test Time Limit'', and enter the new time (in minutes).</li>
<ul><li>For example: If you want to give a student 10 extra minutes and the original test time limit is 60 minutes, enter 70 as the new test time limit for the student.</li>
<li>'''Note:''' If you enabled ''Cap Test Time at Set Close Date'' in your quiz which can be found in the main quiz settings, you will need to change the ''Closes'' field instead of the ''Test Time Limit'' field for the student. If you do not know what ''Cap Test Time at Set Close Date'' is, then you can disregard this note.</li></ul>
<li>Click '''Save Changes'''.</li>

<li>Find the student, and click on the number under the ''Assigned Sets'' column.</li>

<ul>
<li>“ABC” is the name of the exam.</li>
<li>“#” is the version or attempt number. For example, in the screenshot below, '''Proctored_Exam_7''' '''(test 1)''' is the exam version that the student is working on. In this example, “(test 1)” is the first and latest exam attempt from the student. You will need to adjust this entry to provide extra time to the student. '''Do not modify the “exam template” version''' called "Proctored_Exam_7" as it will have no affect on the student's active session.</li>
[[File:Webwork_change_length_example.png|link=https://wiki.ubc.ca/File:Webwork_change_length_example.png|frameless|479x479px]]
<li>Extend the exam time by changing the ''Closes'' and ''Answer'' date and time for "ABC (test #)."</li>
<ul>
<li>For example, if the exam duration is 60 minutes and the student started at 3:12PM, by default, the ''Closes'' and ''Answer'' time will be set to 4:12PM. If the current time is before 4:12PM and you want to give this student an extra 8 minutes, then you will just change the ''Closes'' and ''Answer'' time to 4:20PM.</li>
<li>If you want to give the student an extra “x” minutes AFTER 4:12 PM then you will just change the ''Closes'' and ''Answer'' times to a time “x” min after the CURRENT time. Assuming the CURRENT time is 4:20 PM. If you want to give a student an extra 8 minutes, the ''Closes'' and ''Answer'' times would need to be set as 4:28 PM.</li></ul></ul>

# Click the '''Take Action!'''.

== Adjusting the Canvas assignment for a student's WeBWorK assignment ==
Access to WeBWorK problem sets is controlled by WeBWorK. Solely changing an assignment deadline on Canvas will not have an effect on the WeBWorK problem set. Even if you have locked a WeBWorK assignment in Canvas, students may still be able to access the problem set by entering the WeBWorK portal via an older assignment. Therefore, it is important to ensure the deadlines in WeBWorK are accurate.

If you make significant adjustments to a student's WeBWorK deadlines, their Canvas grade may be marked as "Late" when it is synced to Canvas. To avoid a "Late" tag, you will need to make a manual adjustment to the student's Canvas assignment as well. For example, if you are allowing a student to take an exam later in the evening due to time zone differences, you should adjust the ''Due date'' and ''Available Until'' times in the Canvas assignment accordingly.

'''Note:''' Late tags do not affect a student's recorded grade unless you have configured a late submission policy in your Canvas course.

== How to adjust WeBWorK homework length for a student ==
If you want to grant a student extended time to a particular homework assignment, you can change the assignment due date only for that student without affecting the rest of the class.

To extend the due date of a homework set for a student:
<ol>
<li>In your WeBWorK course, click '''Classlist Editor''' under ''Instructor Tools''.</li>
<li>Find the student from the class list, and click on the number next to them under the ''Assigned Sets'' column.</li> [[File:Webwork_assigned_sets.png|link=|frameless|505x505px]]
<li>Find the assignment you want to extend, check the box next to ''Closes'' and enter the new due date. Make sure you use the correct date format.
'''Note:''' WeBWorK will not allow you to set a due date later than the ''Answer'' date. If you need to change the ''Answer'' date, follow these steps to update the assignment's ''Answer'' date for the entire class''':'''</li>
<ul>
<li>Under ''Instructor Tools'', click '''Hmwk Sets Editor'''.</li>
<li>Click the pencil icon next to the name of the assignment you want to edit.</li>
<li>In the ''Answer Date'' column, enter a new date. Make sure you use the correct date format.</li>
<li>Click the '''Take Action!'''. </li><li>Go back and extend the due date for the student.
</li></ul>
<li>Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click '''Save changes'''.</li>
<li>You can check that the due date for that particular assignment has been changed correctly for the student by clicking on '''Homework Sets''' on the left under the Main Menu. You will see the list of assignments and the corresponding due dates of those that are still open.</li>
</ol>

== How to change the Answer date for entire class ==

# Under Instructor Tools, click '''Hmwk Sets Editor.'''

== Adjusting the Canvas assignment for an individual's WeBWorK assignment ==
Access to WeBWorK problem sets is controlled by WeBWorK. Solely hanging an assignment deadline on Canvas will not have an effect on the WeBWorK problem set. Even if you've locked a WeBWorK assignment in Canvas, students may still be able to access the problem set by entering the WeBWorK portal via an older assignment, so it is important to ensure the deadlines in WeBWorK are accurate.

If you make significant adjustments to an individual student's WeBWorK deadlines, their Canvas grade may be marked as "Late" when it is synced to Canvas. To avoid a "Late" tag you'll need to make a manual adjustment to the student's Canvas assignment as well. For example, if you're allowing a student to take an exam later in the evening due to time zone differences, you should adjust the "Due date" and "Available Until" times accordingly.

'''Note:''' Late tags do not affect a student's recorded grade unless you have configured a late submission policy in your course.

== How to create homework sets or quizzes from publicly available problems ==
One way to create a homework set is to pull in problems from WeBWorK's Open Problem Library (OPL), which contains over 35,000 reviewed and tested problems that are browsable by discipline. Questions in the OPL have been contributed by faculty from institutions that use WeBWorK as well as some textbook publishers.

ChorYuenWong: /* How to create homework sets or quizzes using custom problems */

== How to create homework sets or quizzes from publicly available problems ==
One way to create a homework set is to pull in problems from WeBWorK's Open Problem Library (OPL), which contains over 35,000 reviewed and tested problems that are browsable by discipline. Questions in the OPL have been contributed by faculty from institutions that use WeBWorK as well as some textbook publishers.

#In your WeBWorK course, click '''Library Browser''' in the navigation.
#In the Create a New Set in This Course field, enter a name for the homework set or quiz, and click '''Create a New Set in This Course'''.
#:[[File:Ww Create from publicly available probems - 1,2.png|link=|border|800x800px]]
#*'''Note:''' When creating names, spaces are not allowed in the name. To substitute, you can use "_" instead.
#You can filter which problems to look for by using the drop-down menu next to ''Subject'', ''Chapter'', and ''Section''. Click '''View Problems''' when you are ready to see the available problems based on your filtering.
#:[[File:Ww Create from publicly available probems - 3.png|link=|border|600x600px]]
#Some problems have hints or solutions included within the problem. You can preview the hints or solutions to these problems on the ''Library Browser'' page by checking the "Hints" or "Solutions" option before clicking the '''View Problems'''. If a problem has hint or solution, you should see a blue text link labeled ''Hint'' or ''Solution'' at the bottom of the problem.
#You can randomize, edit, and try any problem by clicking the corresponding icon above each question on the right side.
#To add a problem to selected homework set or quiz, click '''Add''' next to the problem - if you want to add all the problems that are currently displayed on the page, click '''Add All'''.
#To review all the problems you added and finish the setup of your homework set or quiz, click '''Edit Target Set''' at the top.

== How to create homework sets or quizzes using custom problems ==
Making homework sets with custom problems requires editing code files for each problem. You will first add blank problems to a homework set that will create standard code templates for you to edit.

#In your WeBWorK course, and '''Hmwrk Sets Editor''' in the navigation.
#Click the '''Create''' tab.
#Enter a name for the set, and click '''Take Action'''.

#Scroll down to the bottom, check box next to ''Add,'' and enter the number of custom problems you want to add.
#Click '''Save Changes'''.
#Scroll down to the ''Problems'' area to see your blank problems. Click the '''pencil icon''' to edit a problem.
#:[[File:Edit_blank_problems.png|border|715x715px]]
#When making a custom problem, you must [https://webwork.maa.org/mediawiki_new/index.php?title=SampleProblem1&oldid=19509| follow the standard structure of WeBWorK problems] in the template. There are five sections to a WeBWorK problem:
#*''Tagging and description section:'' describes the problem.
#*''Initialization section:'' loads required macros for the problem.
#*''Problem set-up section:'' sets variables specific to the problem.
#*''Text section:'' displays the text that is shown to the student.
#*''Answer and solution section:'' specifies how the answer(s) to the problem is/are marked for correctness, and gives a solution that may be shown to the student after the problem set is complete.
<ol start="10>
<li>When you have completed your edits, click the '''NewVersion''' tab, rename the file, and click '''Take Action''' to save. By default, blank problem will have the name "blankProblem.pg." You will need to change the name to a different one (For example. "newCustomProblem1.pg").

</li>
</ol>

'''Note:''' To add more problems to the problem set later on, you can follow the same steps as above, and skipping steps 2 and 3.

== How to create an empty assignment ==
You can also create an empty homework set or gateway quiz, to which you can add problems later from the Library Browser or add your own custom problems.

#Go to your WeBWorK course homepage, and click '''Hmwrk Sets Editor''' in the navigation.

Since your problem set ''already exists'', make sure to read the '''Note''' at the end of the instructions regarding adding problems to existing problem sets.

== How to properly assign your students to a WeBWorK assignment ==
To ensure problem sets get assigned to all students, please make them visible first and then assign them to all students. Otherwise, the students who join the course between the time you assigned the set and the time you made the problem set visible will not get assigned to that set.
# From the Hmwk Sets Editor, click the '''pencil icon''' next to the assignment's name to edit it.
# Click the problem set's name to navigate to the problem set details.
# In '''General Information''', make sure that '''Visible to Students''' is set as '''Yes'''.

== How to create homework sets or quizzes from publicly available problems ==
One way to create a homework set is to pull in problems from WeBWorK's Open Problem Library (OPL), which contains over 35,000 reviewed and tested problems that are browsable by discipline. Questions in the OPL have been contributed by faculty from institutions that use WeBWorK as well as some textbook publishers.

ChorYuenWong: /* Will students get the full time-limit regardless of when they started the quiz, as long as they started before the set close time? */

If your question is not answered on this page, please contact the [mailto:LT.hub@ubc.ca LT Hub] or [mailto:LT.support@science.ubc.ca Science LT] for further assistance.

== General ==
=== How do I copy problems from one problem set to another? ===
To copy problems from one problem set to another is via Library Browser. In your WeBWorK course, go to Library Browser. Select the intended target set, browse “From This Course”, then select the intended source problem set to browse problems from – see full instructions [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to add problems from one problem set to another|here]].

=== I have set up Canvas grade sync, but why aren't students' grades being updated in Canvas? ===
WeBWorK automatically updates the Canvas gradebook approximately every 8 hours. It is possible the grades simply have not been updated in your Canvas course yet, and will get updated in the next grade sync (up to 8 hours later).

If the grades have not been updated yet after more than 8 hours have passed, double check the WeBWorK assignment link in your Canvas assignment is set up correctly – it is possible the WeBWorK URL was not the correct one and therefore grades did not sync over. Remember that link must follow the format: <code><nowiki>https://webwork.elearning.ubc.ca/webwork2/?set=assignment_name</nowiki></code> where <code>assignment_name</code> is the name of the assignment in your WeBWorK course.

If the grades are still not updated after checking the above, please contact the [mailto:LT.hub@ubc.ca LT Hub] or [mailto:LT.support@science.ubc.ca Science LT] for further assistance.

=== Why hasn't my Canvas class list synced in WeBWork? ===
In order for your Canvas class list to sync with your WebWork course, each student will need to click the WeBWorK link in your Canvas course themselves. Please see [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to add people to WeBWorK|this page]] for more information.

=== Why do I get an error when I am naming my problem set? ===
Webwork has certain naming preferences such as not allowing you to have spaces and certain symbols (“!” & “?”) in the set name. If your assignment name consists of multiple words, you can use an underscore, “_”, instead of a space to separate the words.

=== Why doesn't the image in the problem load? ===
This often happens because the instructor has modified the graph without adding an additional line of code that allows to refresh the image. Instructors can refer to [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to refresh the cached image PG problem|this page]] on how to add the code.

=== I need to fix the correct answer for a question, can WeBWorK regrade all the submissions? ===
No – WeBWorK will not regrade submissions if the correct answer was changed for a quiz question. This also means if students have already submitted their work, WeBWorK will not update their grades if an answer changes in the quiz questions. However, if students started a new quiz attempt after you changed the correct answer, then the change will apply to the new attempt (new test version).

If you want to update students’ grades, you will need to manually update each of them – see [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to change an individual WeBWorK assignment grade|this page]] for instructions on how to change a student’s grade.

=== I need to remove a question from a quiz, will WeBWorK regrade all the submissions? ===
Yes - once the quiz is completed, if you delete a question from the quiz, students’ grades will be updated to reflect their new quiz grade out of the remaining questions.

== Quizzes ==
=== In a multi-section course, how can I assign each of my individual course section with a different WeBWorK exam? ===
To assign each section a different exam is to create a different proctored quiz for each section, each with a different password, and only give the password for that quiz to the section it is for.

=== Will students get the full time-limit regardless of when they started the quiz, as long as they started before the set close time? ===
Example: A WeBWorK quiz is open from 1pm – 2pm, with a 60-minute Time Limit. Student A begins the quiz at 1:30pm.

In your WeBWorK quiz’s settings, there is an option to ''Cap Test Time at Set Close Date'' - if this is enabled, then the Close Date will override the Time Limit that you set for the quiz. In the above example, Student A will run out of time at 2pm. However, if ''Cap Test Time at Set Close Date'' is not enabled, then Student A will have until 2:30pm, the full 60 minutes, to complete the quiz.

Note: If you do not set a Time Limit (default at 0 min), then the quiz will end at the Close Date.

=== What happens if I change the Close Date for a quiz that is currently in progress? ===
If you change the Close Date for a quiz that is currently in progress, the change will only affect those students who have not yet started the quiz as well as any new quiz attempts (test versions) that students have started after this. In order to change the Close Date of a student's CURRENT quiz attempt, you will need to go to the individual student’s settings and change the Close Date of the '''specific test version''' they are currently working on. See [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to extend exam time for an individual student#Providing a student with extra time AFTER they have started the exam already|this page]] for instructions on how to do this.

=== How do I provide students with special accommodations extra time BEFORE the quiz starts? ===
To provide a specific student extra time BEFORE the quiz starts, you can navigate to the quiz settings and edit the settings for an individual student – follow the instructions on [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to extend exam time for an individual student#Providing a student with extra time BEFORE they have started the exam already|this page]].

=== How do I provide extra time to a specific student DURING a quiz? ===
To extend the time limit for a specific student DURING a timed quiz, you will need to navigate to the specific student’s assigned sets and change the Close Date of the specific test version they are currently working on. See [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to extend exam time for an individual student#Providing a student with extra time AFTER they have started the exam already|this page]] for instructions on how to do this.

=== Are there submission issues when all students in a large enrolment course have the same cut-off time? ===
Submission/load issues may occur if large groups of students submit a quiz at the same time. It is recommended to stagger start times by 10 minutes and to limit to smaller groups at a time. You can also consult with LT support to determine any concerns/adjustments that can help keep the submission process smooth and avoid overloading the servers.

=== How do I hide the grades from students so they do not immediately see it after they submit? ===
To hide WeBworK grades from students and mute grades notifications, you must edit the settings for the related assignments in the Canvas gradebook. Please see [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to mute grades notifications and hide grades from the Canvas gradebook|these instructions]] to edit your Canvas settings.
In addition, ensure that your WeBWorK quiz settings have ''Show Scores on Finished Assignments?'' set as “No”, and once the quiz is completed, you may also want to hide the quiz from students’ view by deselecting “Visible”

== Assignments ==
=== How do I assign different due dates and/or availability dates for a homework set to a student so it’s different from the rest of the class? ===
To assign different due dates and/or availability dates of a homework set to a specific student, follow the instructions on [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to extend individual WeBWorK homework sets|this page]]. Please note that these instructions address the specific scenario of extending the due date - you may, of course, change the other settings for the specific student however necessary.

=== I need to fix the correct answer for a question, can WeBWorK regrade all the submissions? ===
No – WeBWorK will not regrade submissions if the correct answer was changed for a quiz question. This also means if students have already submitted their work, WeBWorK will not update their grades if an answer changes in the quiz questions. However, if students started a new quiz attempt after you changed the correct answer, then the change will apply to the new attempt (new test version).

If you want to update students’ grades, you will need to manually update each of them – see [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to change an individual WeBWorK assignment grade|this page]] for instructions on how to change a student’s grade.

=== I need to remove a question from a quiz, will WeBWorK regrade all the submissions? ===
Yes - once the quiz is completed, if you delete a question from the quiz, students’ grades will be updated to reflect their new quiz grade out of the remaining questions.

== Quizzes ==
=== In a multi-section course, how can I assign each of my individual course section with a different WeBWorK exam? ===
To assign each section a different exam is to create a different proctored quiz for each section, each with a different password, and only give the password for that quiz to the section it is for.

=== Will students get the full time-limit regardless of when they started the quiz, as long as they started before the set close time? ===
Example: A WeBWorK quiz is open from 1pm – 2pm, with a 60-minute Time Limit. Student A begins the quiz at 1:30pm.

In your WeBWorK quiz’s settings, there is an option to “Cap Test Time at Set Close Date” - if this is enabled, then the Close Date will override the Time Limit that you set for the quiz. In the above example, Student A will run out of time at 2pm. However, if “Cap Test Time at Set Close Date” is not enabled, then Student A will have until 2:30pm, the full 60 minutes, to complete the quiz.

Note: If you do not set a Time Limit (default at 0 min), then the quiz will end at the Close Date.

=== What happens if I change the Close Date for a quiz that is currently in progress? ===
If you change the Close Date for a quiz that is currently in progress, the change will only affect those students who have not yet started the quiz as well as any new quiz attempts (test versions) that students have started after this. In order to change the Close Date of a student's CURRENT quiz attempt, you will need to go to the individual student’s settings and change the Close Date of the '''specific test version''' they are currently working on. See [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to extend exam time for an individual student#Providing a student with extra time AFTER they have started the exam already|this page]] for instructions on how to do this.

=== How do I provide students with special accommodations extra time BEFORE the quiz starts? ===
To provide a specific student extra time BEFORE the quiz starts, you can navigate to the quiz settings and edit the settings for an individual student – follow the instructions on [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to extend exam time for an individual student#Providing a student with extra time BEFORE they have started the exam already|this page]].

=== How do I provide extra time to a specific student DURING a quiz? ===
To extend the time limit for a specific student DURING a timed quiz, you will need to navigate to the specific student’s assigned sets and change the Close Date of the specific test version they are currently working on. See [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to extend exam time for an individual student#Providing a student with extra time AFTER they have started the exam already|this page]] for instructions on how to do this.

=== Are there submission issues when all students in a large enrolment course have the same cut-off time? ===
Submission/load issues may occur if large groups of students submit a quiz at the same time. It is recommended to stagger start times by 10 minutes and to limit to smaller groups at a time. You can also consult with LT support to determine any concerns/adjustments that can help keep the submission process smooth and avoid overloading the servers.

=== How do I hide the grades from students so they do not immediately see it after they submit? ===
To hide WeBworK grades from students and mute grades notifications, you must edit the settings for the related assignments in the Canvas gradebook. Please see [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to mute grades notifications and hide grades from the Canvas gradebook|these instructions]] to edit your Canvas settings.
In addition, ensure that your WeBWorK quiz settings have “Show Scores on Finished Assignments?” set as “No”, and once the quiz is completed, you may also want to hide the quiz from students’ view by deselecting “Visible”

== Assignments ==
=== How do I assign different due dates and/or availability dates for a homework set to a student so it’s different from the rest of the class? ===
To assign different due dates and/or availability dates of a homework set to a specific student, follow the instructions on [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to extend individual WeBWorK homework sets|this page]]. Please note that these instructions address the specific scenario of extending the due date - you may, of course, change the other settings for the specific student however necessary.

Documentation:WeBWorK/Frequently asked questions

2021-03-08T21:57:15Z

ChorYuenWong: /* How do I copy problems from one problem set to another? */

If your question is not answered on this page, please contact the [mailto:LT.hub@ubc.ca LT Hub] or [mailto:LT.support@science.ubc.ca Science LT] for further assistance.

== General ==
=== How do I copy problems from one problem set to another? ===
To copy problems from one problem set to another is via Library Browser. In your WeBWorK course, go to Library Browser. Select the intended target set, browse “From This Course”, then select the intended source problem set to browse problems from – see full instructions [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to add problems from one problem set to another|here]].

=== I have set up Canvas grade sync, but why aren't students' grades being updated in Canvas? ===
WeBWorK automatically updates the Canvas gradebook approximately every 8 hours. It is possible the grades simply have not been updated in your Canvas course yet, and will get updated in the next grade sync (up to 8 hours later).

If the grades have not been updated yet after more than 8 hours have passed, double check the WeBWorK assignment link in your Canvas assignment is set up correctly – it is possible the WeBWorK URL was not the correct one and therefore grades did not sync over. Remember that link must follow the format: <code><nowiki>https://webwork.elearning.ubc.ca/webwork2/?set=assignment_name</nowiki></code> where <code>assignment_name</code> is the name of the assignment in your WeBWorK course.

If the grades are still not updated after checking the above, please contact the [mailto:LT.hub@ubc.ca LT Hub] or [mailto:LT.support@science.ubc.ca Science LT] for further assistance.

=== Why hasn't my Canvas class list synced in WeBWork? ===
In order for your Canvas class list to sync with your WebWork course, each student will need to click the WeBWorK link in your Canvas course themselves. Please see [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to add people to WeBWorK|this page]] for more information.

=== Why do I get an error when I am naming my problem set? ===
Webwork has certain naming preferences such as not allowing you to have spaces and certain symbols (“!” & “?”) in the set name. If your assignment name consists of multiple words, you can use an underscore, “_”, instead of a space to separate the words.

=== Why doesn't the image in the problem load? ===
This often happens because the instructor has modified the graph without adding an additional line of code that allows to refresh the image. Instructors can refer to [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to refresh the cached image PG problem|this page]] on how to add the code.

=== I need to fix the correct answer for a question, can WeBWorK regrade all the submissions? ===

Documentation:WeBWorK/How to set up Email Instructor feature

2021-03-06T01:08:43Z

ChorYuenWong:

Every WeBWorK problem has an '''Email Your Instructor''' option that students can use to ask questions or report bugs on that problem. This is a useful feature for students to provide feedback, but instructors may receive a large number of emails, especially in a multi-section WeBWorK course. Instructors would receive messages from potentially all students in the course, not just their section. In this case, it is recommended to assign a TA to answer these emails.

By default, WeBWorK will email all instructors and/or TAs that have email addresses listed in the system.
If you want to have the email only sent to a '''specific person''', e.g. TA, you can follow these instructions to change email settings according to your needs:

#Under ''Instructor Tools'', click '''Course Configuration'''.
#Click '''Email''' on the top menu.
#:[[File:WebworkEmailInstructorFeature1.png|link=|center|thumb|500px|]]
#Delete any email address in the ''E-mail addresses which can receive e-mail from a pg problem'' field.
#Next to ''E-mail feedback from students automatically sent to this permission level and higher'' field, select "nobody".
#:[[File:WebworkEmailInstructorFeature2.png|link=|center|thumb|500px|]]
#In the ''Additional addresses for receiving feedback e-mail'' field, enter the TA’s email address which should receive student emails. Email address entries can be separated by commas.

#Click '''Save Changes''' at the bottom of the page.

'''Note for Instructors''': Do not delete your email address from your WeBWorK user profile in order to block emails generated through WeBWorK, otherwise the WeBWorK support staff will not be able to notify you about system upgrades and other emergencies.

Documentation:WeBWorK/How to upload sections using VLOOKUP

2021-03-06T01:05:23Z

ChorYuenWong: /* Updating the class list and sections in WeBWorK */

In some cases, you may want to update a field for many/all students into WeBWork. Information from Canvas cannot simply be copy/pasted into a spreadsheet and uploaded to WeBWorK, therefore an Excel function called '''VLOOKUP''' is required.

Below are instructions on how instructors can import course sections or a class list from their Canvas course to their WeBWorK course roster. This will require working with two Excel spreadsheets at the same time (WeBWorK and Canvas course CSV files).

== Updating the class list and sections in WeBWorK ==
Once your WeBWorK course is created through Canvas (see [https://wiki.ubc.ca/Documentation:WeBWorK/Canvas_Integration WeBWorK/Canvas integration] for instructions), you will have your class list synchronized automatically. In some cases, you may want to update a field for many/all students, e.g. section information. Please note that only certain fields can be updated this way, those fields are:<ul><li>Section</li><li>Recitation</li><li>Comment</li></ul>The rest of the fields are synchronized with Canvas. If you change them, they will be overwritten by the next update. If a student needs to change the name or email address, they need to do it in SIS/SSC. Then those changes will be carried over to Canvas/WeBWorK automatically.

=== Downloading the WeBWorK class list ===
# Access your WeBWorK course site via [https://canvas.ubc.ca/ Canvas].
# Under Instructor Tools, click '''Classlist Editor'''.
# Click '''Export'''.
# Select the options in the fields as follow:
#* ''Export which users?''- "all users."
#* ''Export to what kind of file?''- "Enter filename below."
#* ''Filename''- Enter a name for the class list export file (ex: “Myclasslist”).
# Click '''Take Action'''
#: [[File:Ww Download classlist - 2,3,4,5.png|link=|border|600x600px]]
# Click '''File Manager'''.
# Select the .lst file you exported in step 4 above, and click '''Rename'''. Change .lst to .csv (ex. If your file is named "Myclasslist.lst", change to "Myclasslist.csv"). Click '''Rename'''.
# Select the file again, and click '''Download'''.
#: [[File:Ww Download classlist - 6,7,8.png|link=|border|600x600px]]
=== Downloading the Canvas class list ===
# Log into your Canvas course.
# Click '''Grades'''.
# Click '''Actions,''' and select '''Export'''. The export file may take some time to generate depending on the class size.
# Once Canvas finished generating the Excel spreadsheet export file, save the file to your computer.
#

=== Using VLOOKUP to fill in the section column in WeBWorK ===
Data from the Canvas class list can be filled into the WeBWorK class list using the VLOOKUP function in Excel.
# Open both the Canvas and WeBWorK CSV class list spreadsheet.[[File:GIf-1.gif|link=|none|thumb|540x540px| Open two spreadsheet side by side ]]
# In order for the VLOOKUP formula to work properly, the ''SIS Login ID'' column in the Canvas spreadsheet must be to the left of the ''Section'' column. If this is not the case, you will need to create a new column to the right of the ''SIS Login ID'' column and copy/paste the ''Section'' information into it.[[File:Gif-2.gif|link=|none|thumb|600x600px| Add another section column to the right of student number column ]]
# Once the columns are in the correct order in the Canvas spreadsheet, go to the WeBWorK spreadsheet.
# Select the first cell under the ''Section'' column that corresponds with the first student number.
# Enter "=VLOOKUP(" .
# Select the first student number, and enter a comma "," after the first parameter value.
# Go to the Canvas spreadsheet, and select the two columns, ''Student Number'' and ''Section'' all the way to the bottom (last entry in the spreadsheet).
# In the WeBWorK spreadsheet, add a comma "," after the second parameter value.
# Enter the value "2" followed by another comma ",".
# Enter or select "FALSE" from the drop-down menu to find the exact match.
# Close the bracket of the formula, and press Enter.
# Drag the fill handle all the way to the bottom of the class list.
# In the WeBWorK spreadsheet, go to '''File''' and click '''Save'''. [[File:Gif-3.gif|link=|none|thumb|570x570px|How to use VLOOKUP]]

=== Upload class list spreadsheet back to WeBWorK ===
#Access your WeBWorK course site via [https://canvas.ubc.ca/ Canvas].
#Under ''Instructor Tools'', go to '''File Manager'''.
#Click '''Choose File'''.
#Select the file you have processed (you may overwrite the exported file) and click '''Upload'''.
#Select the file you uploaded, and click '''Rename'''. Change .csv to .lst (ex. If your file is named "Myclasslist.csv", change to "Myclasslist.lst"). Click '''Rename'''.
#Go to '''Class list Editor'''.
#Click '''Import'''.
#Select the options in the fields as follow:
#*''Import users from what file?''- Select your file (ex: Myclasslist.lst).
#*''Replace which users?''- "any users."
#*''Add which new users?''- "any users."
#Click on '''Take Action'''. [[File:WeBWorK-ClassList3.jpg|link=|border|400x400px]]

Documentation:WeBWorK/How to set up Canvas grade sync

2021-03-06T00:31:06Z

ChorYuenWong: /* How to create individual WeBWorK assignment links in Canvas */

In Canvas, it is possible to sync the grades of WeBWorK assignments with Canvas’s gradebook. This functionality is not automatic and requires the creation of '''individual assignment links in Canvas for each specific WeBWorK homework set''' rather than using a general WeBWorK link. To set up individual Canvas assignments for WeBWorK-Canvas grade sync, follow the instructions below.

== How to create individual WeBWorK assignment links in Canvas ==
To create individual WeBWorK assignment links in your Canvas course:
#Create your homework set(s) in WeBWorK (click [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/How to create WeBWorK assignments and properly assign them to students|here]] for instructions on how to create a homework set).
#Log into [https://canvas.ubc.ca/ Canvas].
#Click '''Assignments'''.
#Click '''+Assignment'''.
#: [[File:Grade sync - 3,4.png|link=|border|800x800px]]
#Give the assignment link a name (i.e. '''WeBWorK Assignment01''').
#In the ''Point'' field, enter the point value of the WeBWorK homework set.
#Select '''External Tool''' from the dropdown menu.
#Click '''Find'''. '''Note''': You must click '''Find''' to properly set up the WeBWorK link in your course.
#: [[File:Grade sync - 5,6,7,8.png|link=|border|600x600px]]
#From the list of External Tools, select '''WeBWorK,''' and click '''Select'''.
#: [[File:Grade sync - 9.png|link=|border|400x400px]]
#In the ''URL'' field, append the following parameter at the end of the link to create a link to a specific WeBWorK assignment:
'''?set=''homework_set_name'''''
*The '''''homework_set_name''''' is where you enter the specific name of the homework set you are creating a link for.
*'''Note''': This is the name of the homework set in WeBWorK, not the name of the assignment link that you created in Canvas.
*For example, if your homework set is called HW1, then the URL should read.
<nowiki>https://webwork.elearning.ubc.ca/webwork2/?set=HW1</nowiki>
<ol start="11">
<li>Check the box next to '''Load This In A New Tab'''.</li>
<ul><li>'''Note:''' If you skip this step, WeBWorK will not sync the grades correctly with Canvas.</li></ul>
[[File:Grade sync - 10,11.png|link=|border|400x400px]]
<li>Set a due date for the assignment link (recommended that the due date be the same as the WeBWorK homework set's closing date).</li>
<li>Click '''Save and Publish'''.<li>
</ol>
[[File:Grade sync - 12,13.png|link=|border|700x700px]]

== Important information about Canvas grade sync ==
* '''Accessing the assignment''': An assignment needs to be published in Canvas in order for students to be able to view and access the assignment. Furthermore, each student must access each WeBWorK assignment '''exclusively''' through Canvas in order for grades to sync properly between WeBWorK and Canvas.
* '''Grade sync''': Grade sync between WeBWorK and Canvas occurs roughly every 8 hours, and will capture the state of the WeBWorK grade at that time. As such, some students may see partial grades in Canvas if the grade sync occurred before the student completed the homework set. Therefore, it may take another grade sync (8 hours) to capture the new/final grade state and override the partial grade. This would explain why some students may see a difference in their grades in WeBWorK vs Canvas - but should see the correct grade in Canvas within 24 hours.
* '''Editing a student's WeBWorK assignment grade''': To edit a student's grade, '''edit the grade in WeBWorK''' and not Canvas as WeBWorK’s grade sync will override the grade change in Canvas. See instructions for this [[Sandbox:WeBWork Documentation Project (Rovers)/Sandbox:How to manually change an individual WeBWorK assignment grade|here]].
* '''Auto-scaling point values''': The grade sync between WeBWorK and Canvas auto-scales the grades, meaning that if a student received 2/3 in WeBWorK (66.6%), and the Canvas assignment was worth 2 points, the Canvas grade would be 1.33/2 (66.6%).
* '''Late submission tags in Canvas gradebook:''' Because the grade sync doesn't occur automatically (~8 hours), it is possible that instructors/students may see WeBWorK assignments marked as "late" in the gradebook. Currently, WeBWorK does not pass submission times back to Canvas but rather uses the sync time as a marker. For example, if a student completed a homework set 6 hours before the closing date and it took ~8 hours for the grade to sync to Canvas, the assignment in Canvas would be marked as late (essentially 2 hours late). Therefore, instructors may want to notify their students of this delay and potential "late" tags in the Canvas gradebook.
* '''Canvas assignment due date vs WeBWorK homework set closing date''': It is recommended that instructors use the same date for the Canvas assignment due date and the WeBWorK homework set closing date.

Documentation:WeBWorK/How to set up WeBWorK in your Canvas course

2021-03-06T00:16:43Z

ChorYuenWong: /* Creating a WeBWorK link in the Canvas course navigation menu: */

Before setting up a WeBWorK course through Canvas, see below for more information on setting up WeBWorK for single and multi section courses:

*'''Single-section course:''' See instructions "How to set up WeBWorK for your Canvas course" in the next section.

*'''Multi-section course''': Each instructor can set up a WeBWorK site specific to their section. If homework is shared across sections, however, it is strongly recommended to set up a merged WeBWorK site common to all sections. While both merged and non-merged configurations have limitations (more information on the pros and cons of merged vs non-merged WeBWorK courses are available [[Documentation:WeBWorK/Merged Section VS Non-merged Section|here]]), the merged set up is more efficient and easier to manage.
** To set up a merged WeBWorK site, the '''instructor in charge of the course''' must contact the [mailto:LT.hub@ubc.ca LT Hub] or their [https://lthub.ubc.ca/support/instructional-units/ faculty support contact] and request to have all course sections merged in Canvas first. Once the sections are merged in Canvas, the instructor in charge can create a common WeBWorK site by following the instructions, "How to set up WeBWorK for your Canvas course", below.

*To sync membership, students will either need to click the link in order to be added to the WebWork course or through the auto sync job that happens once a day.

*'''Note for Instructors:''' If you set up a merged site for your multi-section course, WeBWorK does not automatically load section information for the students. If later in the term you need to sort students by section or make section-specific changes to an assignment, you will need to enter the section information in WeBWorK manually. Instructions on how to do this are posted in the following link. Note that these instructions are also relevant if you would like to bulk update other class list fields.

== How to adjust WeBWorK homework length for an individual student ==
If you want to grant a single student extended time to a particular homework assignment, you can change the assignment due date only for that student without affecting the rest of the class.

To extend the due date of a homework set for an individual student:
<ol>
<li>In your WeBWorK course, under Instructor Tools, click '''Classlist Editor'''.</li>
<li>Find the student from the class list, and click on the number next to them under the '''Assigned Sets''' column.</li> [[File:Webwork_assigned_sets.png|link=|frameless|505x505px]]
<li>Find the assignment you want to extend, check the box next to "Closes" and enter the new due date. Make sure you use the correct date format. '''Note: WeBWorK will not allow you to set a due date later than the Answer Date. If you need to, then follow these instructions to update the assignment's Answer Date for the entire class:'''</li>
<ul>
<li>Under Instructor Tools, click '''Hmwk Sets Editor'''.</li>
<li>Click the pencil icon next to the name of the assignment you want to edit.</li>
<li>In the ''Answer Date'' column, enter a new answer date. Make sure you use the correct date format.</li>
<li>Click the "Take Action!" button - your new settings are now saved and you can now go back and extend the due date for the individual student.</li></ul>
<li>Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click '''Save changes'''.</li>
<li>You can check that the due date for that particular assignment has been changed correctly for the student by clicking on '''Homework Sets''' on the left under the Main Menu. You will see the list of assignments and the corresponding due dates of those that are still open.</li>
</ol>

== Adjusting the Canvas assignment for an individual's WeBWorK assignment ==
Access to WeBWorK problem sets is controlled by WeBWorK. Solely hanging an assignment deadline on Canvas will not have an effect on the WeBWorK problem set. Even if you've locked a WeBWorK assignment in Canvas, students may still be able to access the problem set by entering the WeBWorK portal via an older assignment, so it is important to ensure the deadlines in WeBWorK are accurate.

If you make significant adjustments to an individual student's WeBWorK deadlines, their Canvas grade may be marked as "Late" when it is synced to Canvas. To avoid a "Late" tag you'll need to make a manual adjustment to the student's Canvas assignment as well. For example, if you're allowing a student to take an exam later in the evening due to time zone differences, you should adjust the "Due date" and "Available Until" times accordingly.

'''Note:''' Late tags do not affect a student's recorded grade unless you have configured a late submission policy in your course.
