The grading tool is not able to find the functions for Exercises #1 and #2 (#3 is ok), even though the functions are present and all the unit tests are passing fine for all three:
generate_research_report_with_tools - FAILS
reflection_and_rewrite - FAILS
convert_report_to_html - PASS no issues
Please help. I have tried submitting multiple times at different hours with the same result.
Is there a way to reset the notebook and start fresh?
Are you sure that you did a “Save” before you submitted? Maybe what the grader is seeing is different than what you are actually running.
If you want to reset a notebook, here are instructions for doing that on a Coursera based DLAI course.
If the assignment is really using gpt-4o, that’s been deprecated and the course will need an update.
Or perhaps you’re using an obsolete version of the notebook.
if you sure of your codes being correct, then first clear out the kernel output, reconnect the kernel. now run each cell from beginning till end. now save your work by clicking on the save emicon 
, finally submit.
let us know if your issue still persist.
@paulinpaloalto, @TMosh,
In the first image, it is successfully grading exercise #3 - 33/33 points earned, so the notebook is definitely in a saved state.
It uses gpt-4o-mini, and since it passes all tests when I run the notebook, I am assuming the model is not the problem.
@Deepti_Prasad ,
I have:
a) shut down the Kernel
b) restarted it
c) ran each cell from the beginning
d) saved the notebook
e) resubmitted - Same error:
November 10, 2026 12:46 PM IST (Highest Grade)
Exercise 1 — `generate_research_report_with_tools`
⛔ Function `generate_research_report_with_tools` was not found in your notebook.
💡 How to fix it: Make sure you did not rename or delete the function or its cell, that the cell runs without errors, and that you SAVED the notebook before submitting.
Same as the first screenshot
Exercises #1 and #2 - 0/33 points failed
Ex#3 - 33/33 point **passed
**
Resetting the notebook now and retrying as per the instructions here. Let you know…
SUCCESS
Renamed the existing file and started with a clean copy.
Copied the changes over, saved and resubmitted - it graded successfully at 100%
