	No. For example, if you set the course completion for All aggregation methods and wanted to reset it to "Any", Moodle will warn you that you are deleting student data.

	Moodle is confused by your course completion settings.

Moodle is confused by your course completion settings. This may happen at the start of the course when the student has not completed an activity and/or you have selected an aggreation method of All and have not checked off that they have completed the activity.

			==Where do my students tell me they have finished the course?==
			Did you install the [[Self completion block]]? When they click on the link in that block, that will indicate they think they are done. You will have to wait for [[Cron]] to run before seeing the results in your course competition report.
