Write a problem for your class

Write it

1. 1

   Step 1: On Classes, press Your problems, then New problem.

2. 2

   Step 2: Work through the editor's steps: what it is called, the brief, the datasets — taken from the catalogue's datasets — how it is answered, the requirements that grade it, and its solution. Its slug starts with your handle.

3. 3

   Step 3: Under Test, grade the problem's own solution through the real grader. Measure the expected values from it rather than typing them: a typed answer key is how a problem marks a right answer wrong.

4. 4

   Step 4: Press Create problem. It is saved as a draft that only you can see.

Make it available

On its page, press Make it available to your classes. Anything that stops it is listed above the button. Take it back from your classes hides it again, and saving a problem that is available takes it back too, until you make it available again — so nobody is graded against a change they were not shown.

Set it

In an assignment, press Add problems, choose Yours only under Whose, tick it and press Add. Only students in a class that has it in an assignment can open it.

What your students see

They open it like any other problem — hints, the mentor, and the solution once they pass. It has no discussion, it is in no listing or search, and a pass on it counts for your class: it earns no points and is not counted on their profile.

What it can be

You can write 3 problems, or 25 with the extended allowance; drafts and archived ones count, and deleting one frees its place. A problem for your class works on the catalogue's datasets only and is not answered in SQL — Python reads the same data. A problem still set in an assignment cannot be deleted: take it out of the assignment first.
