  2. Click on the large + sign in the bottom right hand corner and choose the group assignment option.

  4. Determine your grade type for the assignment. Available options include: Percentage, Pass/Fail, Auto Pass, Five star or Rubric. If a Rubric will be used for peer review or self-assessment, the grade type must also be set to Rubric. Students will use the same grading rubric for peer and self assessment if enabled.

  5. Add instructions by either recording or including written instructions for students.
  6. Click on Advanced settings to expand the additional options.
  7. Add Post-Submission Instructions if applicable.

    3. System formed groups organizes groups based on the available days and times students have in common. A deadline is required for students to enter their availability or the instructor will be required to manually assign the groups.
  10. Enable Peer review and determine your settings, if using.
  11. Enabling Rubric self assessment will only be an available option if you are using Rubric as your grade type. Students will only be able to asses themselves using the grading rubric selected with the grade type.
