Student Assignment Details

From the Assignment Center or Assignments tab on their class pages, students can select an assignment title to view the assignment details, create and manage tasks associated with their assignments, upload assignment file submissions, and more.

Note: Tiles that display in Assignment Details for are conditional. If a faculty member does not add information for a tile or utilize an available feature, the tile for that information or feature does not display.

Tip: Faculty can see how their assignments display for students in the Assignment Center or from the class Assignments tab by selecting the context menu next to an assignment, then selecting See student preview. For more information, see Student Preview of Assignments for Faculty .

At the top of the page, students can view the following information:

  • Assignment title: If an assignment is marked as extra credit, a blue Extra Credit indicator displays next to the title.

  • Type

  • Assigned date and time

  • Due date and time: Includes the number of days until the assignment is due or the number of days it is overdue for past due assignments.

  • Max points: Does not display if an assignment is evaluated with skills only.

  • Status

    • When a faculty member enables online file submissions for an assignment, Status automatically updates to In progress when the student uploads a file or adds information under Text. Once a student selects Submit assignment, the status updates to Complete and the Submitted date and time display in the header.

    • If in-system file submissions are not allowed for an assignment, students can select the status and manually change it to In Progress, Completed, or back to To do. The status will also update to Completed if the faculty member marks it as Collected.

    • For all assignments, Status updates to Graded once the faculty member commits their evaluation for the student.

  • Marked as: Displays if the faculty member marks the assignment as Late, Missing, Incomplete, Exempt, or Collected.

At the bottom of the page:

  • Submit assignment: Only displays for assignments with in-system submissions enabled. Students can select Submit assignment once they upload Files or enter Text for their assignment.

  • Print: Print the assignment details. Tiles that only include actionable items are excluded when printing. For example, Files and Text are hidden because files and text cannot be added from the print view.

Students can access links or downloads files the faculty member attached to the assignment under Links & downloads. Simply select a link to open it in a new browser tab or select a download to open the attached file.

The description may include instructions and any details the faculty member wants to share with students.

Under Associated tasks, students can create and manage tasks for tracking their progress on large or long-term assignments. For example, a faculty member may assign a paper that is due at the end of the term. Students can add their own tasks for milestones such as creating an outline, writing the first draft, and completing the final draft. As a student works through those milestones, they can set the tasks they've created to In Progress and Complete. Associated

Text only displays for assignments that allow online file submissions. If a student needs to give context to a file they're attaching for an online submission, they can add a note for the faculty under Text. Additionally, students can type their assignment submission here rather than uploading a file.

To add text, select the Edit icon, enter the text, then select Save or Save and close.

Once a student enters any necessary text and/or uploads their file submissions, they can select Submit assignment to turn in their assignment.

When a faculty member enables online submissions for an assignment, students can upload and submit attachments under Files. Students can either drag a file into the Drag a file here tile then select Submit assignment or select the Drag a file here tile, choose the file they want to upload from their computer or device, then select Submit assignment. Students must select Submit assignment in order for faculty to see the uploaded file(s). Once an assignment is submitted, the Submitted date and time display in the assignment header information.

Note: To ensure that files upload successfully, students cannot select Submit assignment or Resubmit assignment while a file upload is processing. Additionally, students receive a warning notification if they attempt to navigate away from the assignment submission page while a file upload is still processing.

Faculty can stipulate how many files students may upload and if students can continue to resubmit an assignment until the due date. If a faculty member does not allow resubmit on an assignment, students cannot delete their files once they are submitted. However, the faculty member can select Allow resubmit for individual students as needed.

When resubmitting is allowed, students can delete their submitted files to upload and submit new files until the due date, even if the assignment status is Graded.

When resubmitting is permitted, the Resubmit assignment button is only active if at least one of the following criteria is met:

  • Something changed in the text field.

  • A file was deleted.

  • A file was added.

Google Drive

If your school has the Google Drive integration enabled, student can select Attach files from Google Drive.

Annotated file submissions

If a faculty member annotates a submitted file, the student can select View Annotations to view the annotations. Select Full screen to open a larger view of the annotated file. Select Close to exit the annotation view.

Faculty may associate an assignment with a rubric or specific skills that will be used to evaluate student performance. Students can find information about those rubrics or skills under Evaluation.

If an assignment is not associated with a rubric or skills, Evaluation does not display for the assignments until it is graded.

Assignments evaluated with rubrics

Under Evaluation, students can select See rubric to view the rubric their faculty member is using to score the assignment. Once the assignment is graded, Evaluation moves to the top of the page and the student can select See rubric to review their evaluation and any comments the faculty member added within the rubric.

Assignments evaluated with skills

If the faculty member is using skills, those skills are listed in Evaluation. Once the assignment is graded, Evaluation moves to the top of the page and displays the skill evaluations and comments added by the faculty member.

Note: Faculty may not publish grades immediately. If your assignment is in the Graded status, but you don't see your grade or evaluation details, it may not be published yet.

Faculty may provide feedback on assignments in the form of comments. They may also upload files that include student feedback, such as an external rubric that is not set up within the system. These comments or files are displayed under Assignment feedback.

For assignments associated with a Learning Tool, a tile displays with that tool name. For example, assignments linked to the Google Assignments learning tool will include a Google Assignments tile where students can interact with that integration.
