Level Lifter Passing Requirement (Adjusting Whoopsies)

The requirements for passing Level Lifters are determined by a student's Level Lifter Whoopsies setting.

A 'whoopsie' is an error on a Level Lifter. A late response counts as one whoopsie, while an incorrect response counts as two. For example, allowing four whoopsies means that a student could respond late to up to four prompts or answer two prompts incorrectly (or any combination totaling up to four whoopsies) and still pass the Level Lifter.

For most students, we recommend 6 to 10 whoopsies, and we set our default at 8 whoopsies.

The 'Staggered' option increases the number of allowed whoopsies by two with each Level Lifter attempt - starting at eight, progressing up to a total of 16 on the fifth or more Level Lifter attempt.

Providing flexibility in passing requirements helps struggling students stay motivated.

You can adjust an individual student's whoopsies by clicking the edit icon on their line. You'll find 'Level Lifter Whoopsies' on the bottom right of the Edit Student screen.
