Complete an assignment
Follow the steps below to complete an assignment:
- From your student dashboard, select an Active Assignment by clicking on it.
- If you have not yet started an assignment, click Start Assignment. If you have previously started the assignment, this button will say Continue Assignment, select this to pick up where you left off.
- From here, you can view the assignment details, including your progress on the course or drill. Press start to begin the assignment.
- Some courses also include Stories, which provide valuable background information you'll need before you start the drill.
- One you begin the drill, simply read and answer the question shown on the screen. To have the question and answer choices read aloud to you, click the speaker icons.
- If you get the question correct, it will turn green and show feedback for why that is the correct answer.
If you get the question wrong, it will show your answer in red and the correct answer in green with feedback explaining why that is the correct answer so you can learn for next time! The star will also move backward in the progress bar.
- As you answer questions correctly, you'll see the star in the progress bar move forward. The assignment is not complete until you get to 100%.
- If you would like to stop your assignment before it is complete and come back to it later, press the x on the left side.
- This will take you out of the drill. To go back in later, follow the same steps as above. You'll notice that your progress was saved and you can pick up where you left off.
