Randomization
===============

This setting only applies to problems that have randomly generated
numeric values. It specifies whether random variable inputs are
randomized when a student loads the problem.

This setting specifies whether certain values in your problem change each time a different student accesses the problem, or each time a single student tries to answer the problem. For example, the highlighted values in the problem below change each time a student submits an answer to the problem.



.. image:: Images/Rerandomize.gif

If you want to change, or "randomize," specific values in your problem, you have to do both the following:

- Make sure that your problem contains a Python script that randomizes the values that you want.
- Enable randomization in the Problem component.

To enable randomization, select an option for the **Randomization** setting. This setting has four options.


+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
| **Always** | Students see a different version of |
| | the problem each time they click |
| | **Check**. |
+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
| **On Reset** | Students see a different version of |
| | the problem each time they click |
| | **Reset**. |
+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
| **Never** | All students see the same version |
| | of the problem. This is the default. |
+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
| **Per Student** | Individual students see the same |
| | version of the problem each time |
| | they look at it, but that version |
| | is different from the version that |
| | other students see. |
