The Student Manager page displays the students in a class and their homework settings:
The Homework level controls the difficulty of homework and volume of work the student receives.
You can use this to set a student to a specific level.
If you leave this on the Automatic setting, Sparx will automatically adjust this based on the student's performance in homework.
The Initial homework level controls the homework level for a student who is new to Sparx before Sparx has enough information to automatically adjust the level.
The Separate setting controls if the student will be asked questions in the Separate science specification.
Students set to No will not see any questions in the Separate science specification.
The Higher controls if a student will be asked questions in the Higher tier specification.
Students set to No will not see any questions in the Higher specification.
The Set homework setting can be used to turn homework off an individual student or to give students half-length homework.
To adjust these settings for an individual student:
Navigate to the Student Manager page by clicking Management and then Student manager
Select the relevant class in the filter at the top of the screen
Click on the student
Adjust the settings and click Save at the bottom of the page
To quickly adjust these settings for multiple students at a time, see Changing homework settings for multiple students
