Schedule Individual Assignments

SAM lets you schedule exams, training, projects and SAM Paths and assign them to specific students in a section. The following procedure starts with locating the assignment on the Assignments page and scheduling from there.

Alternatively, you can schedule individual assignments from the associated assignment page (Exams, Training or Projects). The steps remain the same after you enter the Schedule Individual Assignment wizard. The differences lie in how you arrive to the wizard. If you choose to schedule an individual assignment via the Exams, Training or Projects pages, use these steps:

  1. Click the appropriate tab (Exams, Training, Projects) tab.
  2. Locate the assignment.
  3. In the Actions column, click the Schedule Individual Assignment icon.

    The Add Assignment Options and Schedule wizard displays.

    Note The following steps are identical to the procedures detailed below starting with Step 3.
Important Scheduling an individual assignment as a new assignment for students displays as a separate assignment in Gradebook. You can also decide to replace a grade for an existing assignment with the new assignment's grade: for example, if the student missed the original assignment. Instructors can schedule one individual assignment to replace a grade for an existing assignment. If students need multiple individual assignments, you can either increase the number of attempts in the individual assignment or schedule the individual assignment without grade replacement.

Student names display dimmed (disabled) when the assignment to replace in Gradebook is scheduled to the student.

Note
  • You can select only one section from which to assign individual students.
  • An * indicates a mandatory field.
  • Only grades from individual student assignments can replace grades of previously scheduled assignments.
  • Individual assignments need a unique name that is different from the original assignment.
