Quiz 1 was weighted incorrectly.  As the answer key in the Instructor's Overview indicates, it should be worth 11 point.  In the test, question 1 was worth more than it should have been.  The link to the left fixes that.  Simply download it and put it in the C:\Program Files\Cruiser\994_Aerospace\Tests folder and allow it to overwrite the existing file.

739 The files that tell Carousel Plus how many points the tests are worth were incorrect.  The zip file to the left fixes those files.  Unzip them and save them to the C:\Program Files\Cruiser\739_CAM_CO2\data folder.

In Carousel Plus, do the following to fix the test totals:

  1. Click the Grades menu, View/Edit Available Tests.

  2. Locate the Pre-test for CAM/CO2.

  3. Enter 10 in the Possible Points field.

  4. Click the Post edit button (the checkmark) to save the changes.

  5. Do the same thing for the Post-test.

The other solution would be to delete the module from the module list in Carousel Plus, thereby deleting all associated tests.  You could then re-import that module into Carousel.  The problem is that any student data associated with CAM/CO2 would also be deleted.
