System Error Message in Maple TA
Symptom: A student starts an assignment and
then cannot go to some questions or cannot grade his homework. Moreover the
student sees a page that says system error.
Here is the solution. (This is in the FAQ more briefly.)
- Hit the back triangle to return to the normal Maple TA screen.
- Save and quit.
- Go to Practice Homework 0 and start it.
- Jump to Question 10.
- Change Entry Style to symbol mode (Directions are in the
tutorial)
- Go to another question and back to make sure that this has been
succeesful.
- Start the the assignment with the System Error. The student should be
able
to visit any question.
- The student needs to fix whatever was wrong with
answers to any question which could not be visited, i.e., gave a system
error. If this is not done the issue will reappear when the student
switches to text mode or tries to grade the assignment.
