Create Assignments

Overview

Assignments can be added using the action menu (the yellow +) in the Class List, Subject List, or directly within the view where you access the gradebook.

Assignments are graded using percentages, points, or letter grades. AE-Connect provides two default grading methods for the total reported grade: percentage or points. See guide for the options. Grading Options (Percentage or Points Only)

Assignments can also be graded using special marks. In addition, AE-Connect offers grading tools to curve, auto-drop, and round grades within the gradebook.

Repeating Events - allows users to create multiple assignments in a single action. Users can select “Repeat Assignment,” choose the day of the week on which the assignment should appear, add it to a class, and save. This will create one assignment for each day you select. For example, if you want a memory verse to appear every Thursday of the term, you would select “Repeat Event,” choose Thursday, select the class, and save. One memory verse will then be created for each Thursday of the term.

Allow Students to Submit Assignments Online - This feature allows the teacher to let students upload an assignment or provide a link via the student portal. Once the student submits it, the teacher can view the uploaded file or link in the assignment view.

Selecting Classes

When selecting classes, each class is independent of its category and grading input. The category and default grading input are configured in the class setup. Edit Classes & Class Categories.

The user may select the category that is appropriate and adjust the grading input as needed. If percentage-based grading is used, users can choose percentage, letter, or points. Users who selected points will only be able to change the points for the assignment.
