Skip questions

If you cannot find an answer in the lesson or don’t understand the question or answer, you may have the option of skipping the question. Be aware that once you skip a problem, you are not able to go back and submit an answer for that problem because the Submit Answer button is disabled for that problem.

Note: Skipped problems are sent to your teacher with a zero ( 0 ) grade until your teacher decides how to handle them. Your teacher can keep the problem skipped or he/she can reassign the problem to you.

You have to provide a reason for skipping the question. These steps assume you are working on the Questions in an assignment.

1. While viewing a problem, click the gray Skip button.

Tip: If you don't see the Skip button, this means your teacher is not allowing you to skip problems. Contact your teacher.

2. In the dialog box that appears, enter the reason you want to skip this question, and then click the Skip button.

The problem number now shows a gray arrow next to the number which indicates the question has been skipped by you. A message also appears telling you that the problem has been skipped.

Notice that the Submit Answer button is disabled (dimmed) for the skipped problem.

3. To continue answering questions, click the Next Question button. Or, if the skipped question is the last one in the assignment, click the Mark Lesson as Complete button.

Tip: You can click the Read button on the function toolbar at any time to return to the presentation part of the lesson.
