Type of Assignment.
Assignments for Credit (Results are Recorded)
To access the for-credit assignments, students must log in. Performance results of student sessions are
recorded in your class Gradebook after students click Grade in the assignment. For these categories of

Practice Assignment Types (Results are not Recorded)

require a student login for access and graded results are not recorded in the Gradebook. Students

variables or scrambling.
• Show grade for prior responses – used with reworkable assignments, this allows the student to
see which questions were correct and incorrect on that student’s previous attempt when
reworking the assignment.
• Printable version – allows the student to print the assignment to work offline. The student
must return to the assignment to enter their answers in order to have their work graded.
