Manage Problems in a MATLAB Grader Course

After adding problems to courses, drag and drop them to place them in your preferred order. Copy existing courses and problems to reuse them.

Organize Problems

After you create problems, you can change the order in which they appear in a specific assignment. You can also move them to a different assignment in the same course. To move a problem, use the menu on the left to drag and drop the problem to the target location.

After you create problems, you can change the order in which they appear within a course or collection. To move a problem, click the Reorder Content link at the top of the Contents pane. When the reorder handle is displayed before each problem, you can drag and drop problems using this handle.​

You can reorganize problems even after a course is active. You cannot move a problem to a different course, though you can copy a problem to a different course.

Copy a Problem from Add Problem

From Add Problem, you can copy from:

  • MathWorks Problem Catalog: (verified instructors only): Copy coding problems authored by MathWorks staff and adapt it for your course or collection. These coding problems illustrate good practices for writing coding problems and creating assessment tests.

  • MATLAB® Grader™ Courses and Collections: Copy coding problems currently in your list of courses and collections and modify as necessary.

Copy a Problem from Source

Copy your existing problems and modify them as needed. Copying problems is useful when:

  • You want to use an existing problem as a template for a new problem.

  • You want to reuse an existing problem in a different course.

To copy a problem:

  1. Open the problem you want to copy.

  2. To the right of the problem title, click Actions and then select Copy from the pull-down menu.

  3. In the confirmation dialog box, select the destination course and assignment where you want to insert the problem.

  4. Click Copy.

    MATLAB Grader copies the problem, preserving the current state of the copied problem (final or draft).

  5. Edit the new (copied) problem, as needed.

Delete a Problem

Delete problems from groups and assignments.

To delete a problem:

  1. Open the problem you want to delete.

  2. Click Actions next to the problem title and select Delete from the menu.

  3. In the confirmation dialog box, click Delete.
