Assignments

Collecting assignments during a campus closure is fairly straightforward. The main challenge during a campus disruption is whether students have access to computers, as anyone needing a campus computer lab may be unable to access necessary technologies.

Keep These Principles In Mind:

Require Only Common Software:

Students may not have access to specialty software installed on campus computers. Be prepared for alternative solutions for those types of assignments.

State Expectations, But Be Ready To Allow Extensions:

In the case of a campus closure or other crisis, some students will undoubtedly have difficulties meeting deadlines. Make expectations clear, but be ready to provide more flexibility than you normally would in your class.

Tools For Assignments

Canvas/Google Classroom Assignments:

The assignment feature in Canvas/Google Classroom allows for quick and easy grading for online submissions. Assignments allow you to create coursework and manage the grades and feedback for each student separately.
