To find or adjust your assignment settings, go to the class first, and then the assignment, then tap the wrench icon! Once there, you'll find many settings that you can customize, as outlined below.

Assignment Name

You can easily change your assignment title here at anytime. You can even include emojis!

Description

Here you can describe the task and expected learning goals/objectives for the assignment.

Due Date

You can set or change your assignment's due date at any time. After the set date has passed, the assignment will remain open. A calendar icon with an exclamation point (!) will let you know if something has been submitted late. You can also remove the due date altogether if you'd prefer to keep it open. 

Grading Format

Choose how you'd like your assignment to be graded:

  • Points

  • Custom Entry

  • Completion (Complete vs Incomplete)

  • No Grade

If grading via points, you can choose the maximum number of points allocated to the assignment.

Student Access

You can set the assignment to be locked, view-only, editable, or hidden. When an assignment is locked, students won’t be able to access it. Find out the different types of student access here.

Edit Schedule

Here’s where things get interesting: you can set certain dates to change types of student access by editing the schedule. This way, after a certain date, student access will change so you can easily keep track of due dates.

Export Grades

First, you need to add grades! Afterwards, this will allow you to make a quick spreadsheet of your students’ grades. Here’s how you can do that.

Copy Assignment

You can copy an assignment to another class! This can be useful when you want to keep the same materials for a new semester for example. Check out this guide for more!

Archive Assignment

This will remove the assignment from the assignment list. This can clean up your list once it starts to get too long. This won’t delete the assignment so you can come back to it again at another time!  Learn more about archiving here.
