Jan. 15 For students have no "check my work", 5 attempts,  etc. when doing HW 1 and on assignment attempt 1:  logout connect and then login again. Submit assignment attempt 1. When you start assignment attempt 2 for HW 1, you will see all the tabs.
This is only for HW 1.
Jan. 13 After many length phone calls to Connect Support we finally be able to set the assignment polcies properly. Students will be able to have multiple attempts on each question when they are available. Students are also be able to use "Check My Work" option to get feedback.
Since some students already submitted HW 1, we change the assignment attempts for HW 1 to "2" so all students will be able to use the new settings.  For future HW, the number of assignment attempts will be "1".
