Create an Assignment
All of the assignments in a course get assigned to students who are enrolled in the course. Follow these instructions to create assignments for a course. If you don't have any courses yet, create one.
-
Navigate to the Plan page in the top bar.
-
Click Plan Assignments on the course for which you'd like to add an assignment, or click directly on a day. Each square on this page represents a day in the course, and each group of squares represents a week. Colored-in squares are days that have assignments scheduled.
-
Optional: If you'd like to create an assignment on a particular day, select the day you'd like to create an assignment on. If you want to create an unscheduled assignment (with no week/day associated with it), you can navigate to the Unscheduled tab.
-
Click either the Create Single Assignment button under the New Assignments menu, or the New Assignment button in the empty list to open the new assignment form:
-
Start filling in the new assignment form by entering the assignment's name in the Assignment Name field. This is the only field you are required to provide.
-
Select the assignment's type: one of Homework, Quiz, Test, Paper, or Other. These are used to organize your assignments, and to calculate a weighted grade for the course.
-
Optional: If the assignment is not due on the same day that it is assigned, you can edit the Due In field. For example, enter "2" if the assignment is due 2 days later and so on.
-
Optional: Select the Graded checkbox if the assignment is graded.
-
Optional: Enter a description for the assignment if you'd like to give more information.
-
Optional: Add up to 10 file attachments to your assignment via the attachment uploader. If you need help adding attachments to a planned assignment, see the help page.
-
Click Create Assignment.
