Although you can access assignments from the Home page, there is only minimal information about them. For a summary of all of your assignments with descriptions, click My Assignments in Main Menu Bar or click Current Assignments in the My Assignments module. By default, all of your current assignments will be displayed with a link to your Past Assignments.
The My Assignments summary includes:
The name of the assignment—for example, Homework – Chapter 3—showing the category of assignment in parentheses—Homework.
The date and time that the assignment is due—the last moment that you can submit work done on the assignment
A description of the assignment
The score you received on the assignment if available
Do not wait until the last moment to submit. Your clock may be slightly different than the WebAssign clock.
To access an assignment, simply click the name of the assignment you wish to complete. You will receive the assignment, generally with your last responses entered.
It is unusual, but possible, for your instructor to turn off the feedback of showing you your previous responses. In this case, clicking the assignment name will always give you a blank assignment.
If you have already submitted the assignment, there may be a link to Review All Submissions on the assignment page.
Clicking the assignment name gives you your last submission. It does not give you a blank copy of the assignment unless your instructor has chosen to make your submissions have different random numbers every time or your instructor has decided not to give you your previous entries as part of the feedback.
Once you click the name of an assignment, the assignment page appears.
If you click Show Details for question 1, you will see your score on each part of the question, how many points each part is worth and how many submissions are allowed for each part if you can submit each part separately.
There are many links on your assignment page. Some of the links will always be present and some will depend on the options your instructor sets up for the assignment.
