Open a class and choose Class settings. Each setting saves the moment you change it. They only affect students in this class, and none of them can open a chapter a student's plan doesn't include.
The settings are grouped by what they decide: The book, Chapter quizzes, Chapter exams, and Exercises and written answers. Quizzes, exams and exercises each have their own answer setting.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Class teaches | Standard (where every class starts) is every chapter. Lite stops after chapter 10, and later chapters leave the reader and the file list. The Lite / Standard switch at the top of the class dashboard sets the same thing in one click, and the dashboard's chapters and completion follow it. |
| Assignments | Opens Assignments, where you choose chapters one at a time. See Choose which chapters your class works on. |
| Classic reader only | Shows students only the page-for-page Classic reader. Useful if you assign work by printed page number. |
| Progress tracking | Records reading position, quiz attempts, highlights and notes. Turn it off and the reader records none of that for this class (smart grading and exams still count), and the gap isn't filled in later. |
| Chapter quizzes: Grading and answers | How the practice quiz is graded: Unavailable, Participation, Graded: Best attempt (where new classes start) or Graded: First attempt. See How chapter quizzes are graded. |
| Chapter exams: Grading | How chapter exams count, on its own, apart from the quizzes. Unavailable: students can't see or start them. Participation: they sit them for practice and the scores count toward nothing. Graded: Best attempt (where every class starts): one sitting, and if you reopen an exam the better score counts. Graded: First attempt: the first sitting is the grade, and a retake you reopen is practice. Changing it changes the Score and suggested grade at once; you can still change any one grade yourself. |
| Exam answer support | What students see after submitting a chapter exam. Strict (where new classes start): their score and what they missed, until you release the answers. Guided: the right answers. Open: the right answers and why. See Release a chapter exam's answers. |
| Smart grading | On: students get their score the moment they upload. Off: you review each upload in Needs you and release it. See Hold grades and release them. |
| AI help | On (where every class starts): a student who misses the same smart grader check twice in a row can ask AI to explain that check. It is labelled as AI and never changes a score. Off: a missed check shows the book step and a written hint, and no AI. |
| Exercise answer support | How much of the book's answer key students see in the graded exercises and the chapter review. Strict shows none. Guided (where new classes start) shows answers once they have tried. Open adds downloads and is meant for students working alone. |
| Answers to review | Which written answers come to you. Nothing, they check themselves (where new classes start), Comprehension questions only, or Everything they write. See Review written answers. |
