Assignment Settings

You can have direct access to all your assignments from the third tab of your course, where you can add and manage the assignments. Here are the steps on how to create assignments.

To Create an Assignment:

1. Type the assignment title and make your title specific by lesson/ topic name. It’s not recommended to use generic titles like HW 1 or Week 1.
2. Set the date on which the students will receive the assignment.
3. Set the main deadline date.
4. Set an extra time > You can offer the students extended time after the deadline if needed.
5. Check the Specify publishing date later box if you don’t need to decide the dates now.
6. If this assignment is graded, you can choose one of the report/grade book columns. Choosing one means the automated mark will be inserted directly into the report.
