Before you begin an assignment, an introduction page provides helpful information about how your instructor has set up the assignment. This page lists:

·       The due date

·       The number of questions

·       If it's assigned for a grade or completion

·       The number of attempts allowed

Click Get Started to begin. If you have previously started the assignment, but exited before finishing, you will instead have the option to Continue.

Assignments for a grade function slightly differently than assignments for completion.

If the assignment is for a numeric grade, all questions are answered then submitted for grading. Each question is worth the same number of points. You must get everything correct in a question to earn the point.

If the assignment is graded for completion, questions are answered one at a time. Feedback is provided immediately for each question, and you have the option to go directly to the textbook materials that support the question. These types of assignments do not have a point value.

Once you complete the assignment, your results are displayed. This page allows you to:

·       See your results for the attempt

·       Track the number of attempts remaining

·       What is currently reported in the gradebook (Completed or point value based on the assignment's settings)

·       Completion date for the attempt

Depending on your instructor's settings for the assignment, you may be able to Review your answer or Retake the assignment if you have attempts remaining.

TIP: Since you may be able to complete a graded assignment more than once, the score recorded in your instructor's gradebook could be different than the results on your current attempt. In the example image below, the Chapter Test allows three attempts with the instructor accepting the best of the three. The current score recorded in the gradebook is 11, but if higher scores are made on subsequent attempts on this assignment, the final gradebook score could be higher.
