Many educators like to provide guidance by assigning practice tests and practice exercises to their students. Homework assignments will appear in a new tab called Homework, ordered by due date. This new tab will appear next to the students' Prep Plan. Students will see a numbered notification if they have any assignments they need to complete, and this notification does not disappear once users have clicked into the Homework tab. They must complete assignments for the notification count to decrease.
To create and assign homework for individual students, follow these steps.
1. Log in to your account and navigate to your Educator Tools.
2. Select Students from the sidebar menu, then click on a student's name.
3. Scroll down to "Edit Prep Plan" to view Completed Work, assign New Homework, or assign a New Custom Homework.
The Completed Work section displays any Prep Plan recommendations and homework assignments that the student has completed.
4a. To assign a test section or practice exercise, click on +New HW.
- Select practice exercises and/or practice test sections that you would like to assign.
- You can quickly find items by typing the name of an exercise or test section into the search bar.
- You can see a preview of practice exercise questions in the Sample Question box by clicking on or hovering over an exercise.
- Click the checkbox for items you would like to assign; these items will show up in the Selected Assignments box.
- Once you have selected all of the exercises you want to assign, select a Due Date and then click Assign Homework.
Note: You will not be able to assign items that a student has not purchased, has already completed, or is locked out of. |
4b. To type out your own homework assignment, click on +New Custom HW.
- For example, you might create Custom HW if you'd like your student to read through another online resource or work on problems from a math textbook.
Deleting an Assignment
1. If you wish to delete a homework assignment, you can do so by returning to the student's profile page and scrolling down to the Edit Prep Plan section.
2. Click on the trash can icon next to an assignment to remove it from a student's prep plan.
