Adjust Grades
***********************************
You can adjust grades for one student at a time, or for all of the enrolled students in the course. For example, your course beta testers can evaluate numerous different correct and incorrect responses to verify that your course is set up as you intend. Students can also report errors while a course is running.

* Rescore the submitted answers to reevaluate the work.
* Reset the number of times a student has attempted to answer the problem to
zero so that the student can try again. See :ref:`reset_attempts`.
* Reset the number of attempts made to answer the question correctly so that students can try again.
You can make these adjustments for a single student or for all of the students
enrolled in your course. To make an adjustment for all students, you need the unique identifier of the problem. See :ref:`find_URL`.
To make these adjustments, you need to specify a problem by supplying the unique identifier from its URL.
Another grade adjustment technique is to delete a student's database history, or
"state", completely for a problem. You can only delete student state for
individual students. For example, you realize that a problem needs to be
rewritten after only a few of your students have answered it. To resolve this
situation, you rewrite the problem and then delete student state for the
affected students only so that they can try again. See :ref:`delete_state`.
