Intelligent Agent: Sending an Email based on a Low Quiz Score

This tutorial reviews creating an intelligent agent that will run every day for a week. It will send an email to students who have scored less than or equal to a 70% on a quiz upon log-in, and only once. You might want to send students an email encouraging them to look at specific items in the course as a review and reach out to the Learning Resource Centers
