How can I get section numbers inserted into a multi-section course site?
To get section numbers for students, the Section Number quiz simply create a short-answer one question quiz that asks students “What is your course section number?” is. If they enter 1, they get a 1% grade, if they enter 2 they get a 2% grade…etc. Of course, for the Section# column in the course database the number does not represent a grade but simply a section number. Provided students do the quiz and enter the right section number, you will end up with a column for section numbers that you can search or sort on. If you want to force students to do the section# quiz first, you can use conditional release to make the display of all course icons dependent on having a value in the section# column first. If they enter the wrong section number you can override their section number (regrade). To account for students changing sections you can allow more than one attempt and take the last entry. Force the grading by putting in the quiz settings submission message: < SCRIPT LANGUAGE=3D"Java
