Assignment Types

SETUP -> Grading -> Assignment Types

College Office lets you create various assignment types (for ex: "Test", "Homework", "Participation", etc.) and configure how the assignments of each type are processed when determining the student final grade. Use this screen to create the various assignment types available to your institution and to set the default properties of each assignment type (instructors can override those properties for their class.)

The page lists all the Assignment Types of your institution.

Check the Edit Assignment Type help topic for a description of each column.

Use the upper left Yes/No Active switch and Name field to filter the list by Active/Inactive status and/or by name.

Click on a row to edit that Assignment Type via the Edit Assignment Type screen.

Click on the lower right to add a new assignment type via the Edit Assignment Type screen.

Click the button to reset the assignment types of a single class or of all the classes of a term to conform to the current assignment type settings. College Office will let you select a term or a single class and will:

delete from the class(es) the currently inactive assignment types as long as no assignment of this class has already been assigned that type.
add to the class(es) any active assignment type which is missing
reset the Weight, Minimum Grade and Low Grades Ignored properties of the class assignment types to the current default values of these properties.

Notes:

The values of an Assignment Type can always be overridden at the Class level, no matter what the standard default values are.
The default values of an assignment type can be overridden for a specific course so that classes based on this course are assigned by default assignment types with the values from the course rather than the standard default values of the type.
Check the help topics on Course Assignment Types and Class Assignment Types for more details.

Check the Gradebook and Assignment Types help topic for more information on Assignment Types.
