Copying Assignments Using the Assignment Details Drawer

Use this procedure to copy an assignment from one course to other courses or from one student competency group to other student competency groups using the Gradebook Entry's Assignment Detail drawer. You can copy to any other course or competency group that you use the gradebook for in the current marking period.

ClosedHandling of Category, Competency, and Rubric Issues

Category miss-matches: If the assignment being copied is in a category that is not being used by the class being copied to, the copy feature will attempt to add that category to the new class. If your administrator has selected to allow teachers to add/create categories for classes, the category will be added to the class being copied to, and the assignment will be copied. If teachers cannot add/create categories, the assignment cannot be copied.

Attached rubrics/competencies for course assignments: If a course assignment has competencies attached to it, the competencies will only be copied if the course that the assignment is being copied to has the same competency group associated with it. Also, if the assignment has a rubric associated with it, the assignment will be copied , along with the rubric, but any competencies attached to the rubric will only be copied if the course being copied to has the appropriate competency group associated with it.

Attached rubrics/competencies for student competency group assignments: Competencies are not copied for competency group assignments. If the assignment being copied has a rubric associated with it, the rubric is copied, but competencies associate with the rubric will not be copied.

Rubric availability in copied assignments: If the rubric in the assignment being copied is Saved for this assignment only, it is recreated for the new assignment. If it is Available for all my assignments or Public for all teachers, the copy feature will point all new copied assignments to that rubric.
