What's the title of your suggestion?: Updating the Homework Pluggin for teachers/professors

What's your suggestion?:
As a teacher on SRP, I love the new homework system and I personally believe that the homework plugin is the most consistent way for get to college tag. Additionally we've also had the added opportunity to where we can get paid to give homeworks. However I think for the teacher/professor's end there should be updates to the homework pluggin and I have a list of things we should have.

1. An option to delete questions from HWs: Teachers/Professors are restricted to only having 3 questions max per homework and sometimes we accidentally add a 4th question too the homework and we cant do anything with it. But having it to where we can remove questions while it's in the editing phase, it'll make things a lot easier so they wouldn't get denied.

2. Multiple choice/T or F questions: I feel instead of having writing based questions, it would be more convenient to have the option to make True or False or Multiple choice questions to the homework. This I believe could benefit when grading as we wont have to read the response and provides creative freedom to types of questions we want to have in the homeworks.

3. Letting students who failed an assignment retake it: If I'm correct (you can correct me on this) If a student does a HW and fails it, they will not be able to retake the homework again. While I'm unsure if this is something that's a problem, I believe students should have the chance to retake homework they've failed, but as a result once they get a passing grade on the assignment, they cant retake it. And if they've done an assignment and passed, they shouldn't be able to redo it as the credit is earned. Additionally there are also times when we grade homeworks we accidentally give an F to a student and this could save us the hassle of contacting our faction lead to change the grades.

4. Reediting or removing previously accepted HomeWorks: Sometimes we've made homework in the past we don't really like or we've made a typo or some mistake on an assignment which has been looked over. I feel we should be given the option to redo homework assignments that's been previously accepted, as this would enable teachers to be creative with how they do homework. Or if a teacher switches subject the previous homework they have for the past subject are practically useless.

How will this benefit the server and community?:
One big thing would be creative control, as teachers and professor are given the option to do many types of homework questions rather then standard short answer problems and making questions like multiple choice or True or False more rewarding to teachers. Furthermore this creative freedom to make simple homework questions will also encourage Instructors to utilize the homework quota, and be creative with homeworks, while also giving a new fresh change to the students who're trying to hit college tag. Going back to the instructor's side this new change would also make creating new homeworks much more comfortable for both new and old faculty. With the new changes to the teacher and professor faction, there has been a lot of new expectation which some of the past stuff slowly becomes irrelevant (like lecture and book based classes). And I believe the homework pluggin should reflect on these new changes.

All of these suggestions in my opinion are really good and really thought out! I do agree writing based questions are quite boring and repetitive (not specified by you).. good suggested randen
