The Assignment Tool allows you to create and distribute course assignments to your students, and to download, evaluate, and assign a grade to the completed work. By adding assignments in your WebCT course, you can write the instructions about the assignment, assign a maximum grade to inform the students of the assignment's value, and set the time and dates for which you want the assignment to be available. You can also attach assignment-related files such as photographs, a spreadsheet you want the student to modify, or articles to which you want students to respond. Students can then view the assignment instructions, submit their completed work, and view their grades. The grades are displayed through the My Grades Evaluation Tool, if you make it available to the students.
Remember, you and your students can use Assignments only after you have added the tool to your course. Depending on how you structure your course, you may want to have Assignments linked on the homepage or you may want to group them with quizzes and self tests under an Assessments organizer page or Evaluation tools page.
For more information on creating assignments, quizzes and tests, please visit the UBC elearning WebCT Documentation page, page, section on Quiz and Assignments.
