Assignments

The term 'Assignments' refers to all coursework within your course. The assignments included in your course can consist of Written Assignments, Quizzes, Exams, and/or Discussions. Your instructor may add other types of assignments, such as Extra-Credit or Group Assignments. The Assignments page within your course will display all of the Assignments (graded and/or non-graded) that will be expected of you and how many points each is worth.

Upon entering the Assignments page, assignments will be displayed in a list format. If your instructor has implented due dates, then due dates will be displayed and assignments will be listed in ascending chronological order.

1. Assignment Titles
2. Due dates
3. Total number of points per assignment

Assignments will be listed by category:

• Upcoming Assignments (due date has not yet passed or no due date exists)
• Undated Assignments (no due date exists)
• Past Assignments (due date has passed).

You also have the option to display Assignments by Type (i.e. Written Assignments, Quizzes, Exams, etc.) [1] or to access your personal gradebook and view your current grade based on your completed coursework [2]. To utilize these options, simply click the associated button in the Sidebar.

Grades

Accessing your personal gradebook from the Grades link on the Course Navigation menu will allow you to view all of the Assignments (graded and/or non-graded) that will be expected of you, when each assignment is due, any scores you have received (grades will populate as you complete courswork), how many points each is worth, and any instructor comments that have been entered, etc.

From within the Syllabus page, you can view a list of all of the Assignments (graded and/or non-graded) that will be expected of you and their corresponding due dates (if due dates have been set by your insturctor). There are three main sections of the Syllabus page:

Accessing the Quizzes link on the Course Navigation menu will only allow you to view the quizzzes and exams within your course. This page will not reflect any other assignment types required for your course (i.e. Written Assignments, Discussions).

You can select the specific assignment you would like to access within each module by clicking on it [1].
