[New Quizzes] Show correct answers only after last allowed attempt

[ellisonl15]

Problem statement:

To encourage students to think through their errors, I like to give them multiple attempts without showing them the correct answers. It would be nice to show them the correct answers after the last attempt. For instance, in comprehension assignments for a foreign language class I teach, I give them two attempts to free them up from some stress on the first run through, but to make them focus on the assignment. I would like for them to have access to the correct answers after the 2nd attempt so they can see exactly where they went wrong.

Proposed solution:

Make it possible to show correct answers after 'x' number of attempts or after last allowed attempt, or, for unlimited attempts, make it possible for students to request the correct answers but then be barred from any further attempts. This would help students who are reluctant to ask for help understand the course content better, and would add flexibility to courses offered completely online.

This is a common request at our institution as well.

Here is a mock-up of where I think the setting belongs: https://uppsala.instructure.com/courses/16238/files/4065514/preview

Problem statement:

Consider the setting for new quizzes, where you decide to "show student responses." Currently the options are on the extremes: no information or full disclosure from the first attempt. You can choose 1. not to Indicate if response is correct or incorrect, in which case you are providing NO feedback or 2. to indicate if response is correct or incorrect, with these options "show correct answer" and "only after their last attempt" If you check both of these, the correct answer will appear in every attempt, if you check only the second one or neither, the correct answer will not appear at all.

Proposed solution:

A third option "Show correct answer ONLY after their last attempt" is needed. In that way students can see what they answered incorrectly in the early attempts but need to research the actual answer before it is shown to them in the last attempt. It is possible that this idea is already out there but searching and responding to others' ideas has become cumbersome.
