2. Save your assignment by clicking Save.
Important: The Assignment Editor does not save partially completed assignments until
you click Save in the Review and Save tab. If you begin to create an assignment and
then abandon it without completing clicking Save, your additions and changes are lost.
Assignment Editor Step 1: Assignment Name
The name you give your assignment in the Choose Name tab of the Assignment Editor is displayed to
students in the Student Menu of your Class Homepage.
Name assignments using unique and informative terms that make it easy for students to identify each
assignment and its instructional objective.
To name your assignment:
1. In the Choose Name tab, enter a name for your assignment in the Choose A Name For Your
Assignment field.
2. Optional. Click the Add Instructions button to add test that will appear at the top of each
(web) page in the assignment, or to add text that will display on the results page after a
student submits the assignment for grading.
Assignment Editor Step 2: Add Questions to Assignments
There are two methods for adding questions to your assignments.
• Adding individual questions by using the Add as Items or Add buttons
• Adding questions as a group by using the Add as Group button
You can use any combination of selection methods when creating an assignment.
You can combine any number of individual questions and question groups in a single assignment.
However, we recommend that you keep assignment small if the questions you are assigning require a
significant amount of time for students to solve.
A note about question in Homework Manager: most Homework Manager titles will include a
combination of static and algorithmic (algo) questions. Static questions are virtually identical to the
corresponding item in the accompanying textbook, and the values all remain constant. Algorithmic
questions are based on the corresponding item from the textbook, but certain values change each time
the question is accessed, based on built-in algorithms.
Adding Individual Questions
To add individual questions:
1. In the Assignment Editor, Selection Questions tab, select a source chapter from the Select
Question Bank drop-down list.
2. Expand the topics that appear in the left-hand frame to view individual questions.
