When can students see answers while completing an assignment?

When creating an assignment, teachers have the following options for the behavior of explanations in the assignment:

  • After each question (least restrictive):

    • Show the answer and explanation as students answer questions.

    • This option allows students to immediately apply the feedback to the next question.

  • After assignment completion (moderately restrictive):

    • Hide answers and explanations until after the entire assignment is complete.

    • You might use this option when you want students to be aware of their pacing while practicing. 

  • After due date has passed (most restrictive):

    • Hide answers and explanations until after the due date passes.

    • This is a good option when more than one class is completing the assignment or you are using a take-home assignment for a grade.

[Pro-tip]: If you would like to withhold the answers from students permanently, adjust the assignment due date to be after the semester or the school year ends.
