Create Assignments

You can create one assignment at a time as you progress through the term, or you can set up assignments for the entire term before the term starts. Creating assignments before entering scores does not skew how grades appear. The final grade that appears next to a student’s name on the Scoresheet page reflects an average grade for only the assignments that you have scored already.
