Assignment Records Manual


Assignment records are grouped with respect to courses. When "Assignment Records" are selected, a course selection page forwards to the group of assignments given in a specific class. The page contains a list of the assignments alphabetically sorted on the left side and a work area on the right side. Each of the names on the left associated with a link showing the assignment information. 

ADD or NEW buttons

This button converts an empty form to add a new assignment to the system. The form to make a new assignment includes the following essential items;

  • Assignment #: Turns the next number as the default. If an existing number is choosen, it overwrites the existing one.
  • Assignment Type: Specifies different kind of assignments to be given to the students.
  • Grading Base: will be used to grade the students by deciding the maximum grade possible for this assignment. Grading base is effective in average calculations of the students.
  • Partials: are not effective in grade calculations. However, this field is informative for the grader about how to distribute the total grade into partials.
  • Weight: This field specifies the weight of the assignment among the other grades totalling 100%. In case this field left empty, averages are calculated by distributing equal weights to all of the assignments. (Note that if one of the assignments has weight and the others do not, then the average calculations are not possible to perform.)
  • Grade Published : This field is used to show or hide the given grade for this assignment to the student during the grading process. The traffic lights in the assignment lists in the system give this information, and provides switching between two options by clicking on the image. BACK
  • Assignment URL : is purposed for the URL page of the assignment published in the web. The small home image near the assignment name in the list on the left side links this URL. The white home image means there is no such URL defined in the assignment record. BACK
  • Comment URL: is planned for further explanations published on the Web about how an assignment is evaluated, etc.
