Adding Assignments and Using Turnitin
It is important to have your assignments created within Canvas so that students can easily submit assignments in a central location. Assignments should contain the full description, points value, and due date.
Before you add any assignment, you will need to make a few decisions to determine how to set up the assignment, such as:
- How do you want students to submit the assignment?
- How will you grade the assignment?
- How many points can students earn for completing the assignment?
- Is it only a complete/incomplete?
Once you have considered these basic elements, you are ready to begin adding the assignment.
