Group Assignments
Group Assignments
Faculty have the option to assign group work for student assignments, with grades given either collectively or individually. Initially, faculty should organize the groups by creating "group sets," specifying the composition and number of groups. Then, these pre-arranged groups can be linked to the assignment.

By default, the assignment is given to all students ("Everyone"). However, you can use the dropdown menu to select specific students or groups.
Due Dates
Due Dates
Help students stay on schedule by assigning due dates to their assignments. This will add the assignment to their 'to-do' list and calendar.
Although students can submit assignments past the due date, these will be marked as late.
To control when students can access the material, set "available from" and "until" dates, which lock the assignment outside of these specified times.
