After you configure assignment types, as you are organizing your course, you set the assignment type for subsections that contain problems that are to be graded.
You can only set assignment types and due dates at the subsection level. You cannot set assignment types or due dates for entire sections or for individual units within subsections. Additionally, you can designate a subsection as one, and only one, of the assignment types you configured.
Note
You can create problems in Studio without specifying an assignment type for the subsection. Scores for such problems are listed as “practice scores” on the learner’s Progress page and do not count toward the learner’s grade.
Hidden sections, subsections, or units that contain graded content are not included in grading and also do not count toward a learner’s grade. For more information, see Hiding Graded Content.
Within a graded subsection, you create problems of the type designated for that subsection. You cannot not mix problems of different assignment types in the same subsection.
For example, if you want to create a homework assignment and a lab for a specific topic, create two subsections. Set one subsection as the Homework assignment type and the other as the Lab assignment type. Both subsections can contain other content as well as the actual homework or lab problems.
