Extra Credit in Assessments for Answering More than a Minimum Number Correctly

A faculty wants me to create a quiz with 17 questions. If the students get any 15 correct, then they receive 100%. Any correct answers above and beyond those 10 will be extra credit points. How do I do this in ANGEL without manual grading? We would also like to preserve the ability to randomize the questions.

"An error has occurred... MyGroups"

Strange, I'm getting a pop-up window with the following text:

An exception has occurred
Please try one of the following to correct this:
* Click the Refresh button in your browser
* Close your browser, then login and try again
If neither of these options work you may wish to contact your support desk and provide them with this information about this situation.
* Exception ID: 32206
* A copy of the log entry for this exception (view log)

And I'm not seeing my groups. I just get the error that you can see in my subject field.

Firefox 4

I saw that Firefox 4 was released last week (?) and made the mistake of upgrading only to be reminded that ANGEL isn't yet tested/compatible with this version of the browser. Does anyone know where we could go for specific updates, testing results, or plans on updating ANGEL?

Problem with timed quizzes being submitted after a quiz has automatically closed

I am working with an instructor on a course that uses 90 min, timed quizzes. The quizzes are available during a short, 30 min window of opportunity. Some of the settings for the quiz are:
• disabled time warning under "Time settings"
• "Automatically submit when time limit expires" is selected
• Max attempts = 1
• "Warn about incomplete items" is selected
• auto save is disabled
• "Do not allow users to save and finish later" is selected
• Full Review is selected

The problem we're having is, say a student logs on 1 minute before the quiz closes and they complete the quiz before the 90 min and submit it, ANGEL shows the results as expected...

CSS not displaying in ANGEL Folders

I'm looking for some help with CSS coded pages in ANGEL. I'm relatively new to CSS and have been pleasantly surprised that ANGEL can play well with CSS pages. (I'm working in a test ANGEL group called "Kent's Sandbox.")

Here's a link to the archive (http://www.personal.psu.edu/kkm11/files/css_angel_example.zip) of the very simple site I'm working with.

I know ANGEL can display my CSS properly. I uploaded the archive and this what I see (right-click to view a full-size version of the images):

Problem: Assignments auto-populating ANGEL Calendar

An instructor has asked me if the assignments (ANGEL quizzes and dropboxes) can automatically appear in the ANGEL calendar based on our due dates for those objects. I've been trying to figure out how to configure these assignments to show up in the calendar.

Does anyone know if I can configure the calendar to look at the assignment due dates and create entries automatically? or do I have to do this manually?

BTW the "ANGEL® 7. 1 INSTRUCTOR REFERENCE MANUAL" doesn't mention anything about automatic entries.

Action Editor: Certificate Creation

I'm looking to use ANGEL to create a "certificate" once a participant completes an evaluation. I would create an HTML template that would insert the participant's name in a predefined location. Has anyone tried this before?
