Due Date
All assignments can be submitted after the due date, they will just be marked as late and the instructor can decide how to proceed with grading
Grading – Assign points possible
You must assign a point value to the assignment
You can change the grading format to alphanumeric or a variety of other formats by editing the properties of the assignment in the Grade Center after the assignment has been fully created
If you want an assignment to be simply participatory, you will need to still initially assign a numerical grade and then adjust the grade settings in the grade center.
Optionally, you can associate a Rubric to use when grading the assignment.
Submission Details
You can make the assignment individual (all students submit individually), or a group assignment.
Specify the Number of Attempts you'd like to give students to submit.
