I am preparing notes for a class using beamer in LaTeX. I use \uncover pretty liberally for answers. Is there a way to print notes for students that doesn't have answers. Here's a sample of my code:

\section{Week 1}
\subsection{Basic Definitions}
\begin{frame}{Example: Marijuana Legalization}
\\
A local radio station is interested in determining how North Carolina 
residents feel about marijuana legalization.  The station set up a special 
phone number which could be called by  people  who  wished  to  voice  their  
opinion.   The  station  found  that  67\%  of  the  1,624 callers support 
legalization.

\begin{itemize}
\item What is the parameter of  interest?\\ \uncover<2->
{{\color{wolfred}proportion of all North Carolina residents who support 
marijuana legalization}}
\item What is the population?
\\\uncover<3->{{\color{wolfred}All North Carolina residents}}
\item What is the statistic?\\\uncover<4->{{\color{wolfred}67\%, the 
proportion of callers who support the legalization of marijuana.}}

\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

    Get used to use blank lines (or \par if you prefer avoid the empty lines) instead of \\\ to break paragraphs, even when, like in this example, the result will be the same. – Fran Sep 25 '17 at 08:10

You can use beamer modes for this. Change the overlay specification for \uncover from <2-> to <beamer:2-|handout:0> and for the handouts for students add the option handout to the documentclass.

% presentation
\documentclass{beamer}
% handout for students without answers
%\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
\begin{document}
