Create assignments
Create assignments with clear instructions and the right submission settings.
An Assignment collects student work for a grade. On the Course Content page, add an Assignment from the plus menu, then write instructions that state what to submit, in what format, and how it will be judged. Set the points, due date, and any attempt or availability limits.
Tie each assignment to an objective from Lesson 1. If you cannot name the objective an assignment measures, reconsider whether it belongs in the course.
