The student can only see the feedback table and the detailed scoring report.
Instructors have access to much more information.
They can launch the student’s submitted PKA which will help in many situations where the student may think the scoring was not correct
Instructors can also see when the exam was launched and how long it took the student to submit the exam
In addition, the instructor can see the final running configs for all IOS devices configured by the student
Finally, the instructor can see a detailed student log showing a timestamp for each command entered. This can be very helpful in identifying areas where the student is having difficulty.
Note that the time stamp can also be an indicator that the student copy and pasted scripts into the devices, as shown here. This may or may not be an indication of cheating.
