In this lesson, you will review how to create new assignments in Skedula.
Where to Start
1. Click Assignments, then Create Assignment.
Add Assignment Details
2. Enter the Title of the assignment.
3. Select the Category the assignment belongs to. In order to edit the category go to Course Categories.
4. Viewable Date will automatically display today's date but can be adjusted. The date represents when the assignment can be viewed by students or parents on PupilPath. Please note, once a mark is given, or the viewable date has been reached, it will be shown on PupilPath.
5. Due Date will automatically display today's date but can be adjusted. The date represents when the assignment is due. This date is viewable by the students and parents on PupilPath.
6. Select the Marking Period. Please note, Course Categories must be setup prior to selecting subsequent marking periods
7. Enter in the Max Points of the assignment. The max points is automatically set to 100 but can be adjusted based on the maximum allowable points a student can receive on the assignment. Please note, grade according to the scale you used. For example, if a quiz is worth max points of 10 and a student receives 9, enter 9 as a grade. If you enter 90%, this is equivalent to 90 points on a 10 point scale.
8. The Weight of the assignment is automatically set at 1.000 (=1). This value represents how much weight this assignment receives in your gradebook. Every assignment counts as 1 assignment in the gradebook, hence, the weight of 1. If you want the assignment to have double the weight (in comparison to other assignments) change the weight to 2.
9. All assignments are graded as long as Is Graded is checked-off. An assignment can be excluded from the average by deselecting the Is Graded checkbox. Please note, the option to grade is no longer available if the box is unchecked.
10. If the assignment is Extra Credit select the checkbox.
11. Exams created in Data Driven Classrooms (DDC) can be linked by Link to DDC Exam. See the guide Assignments: Link to DDC Exams if you need review.
