NOTE: If an assignment it turned OFF in a Section, it will not be visible nor accessible to students in that Section.  Assignments are ON by default. See Hide or Show Assignments to control visibility for students in ALL Sections.

Assignments can be turned On or Off. If an assignment is required of one Section but not another or there are assignments in the course that you don't want to delete but also don't want to use for the current term, they can be turned Off. 

EXAMPLE 1:  Multiple Sections / Different assignments required

You have two sections (04 & 07) and have created a separate Exam for each. Turn Exam-04 ON in Section 04 and OFF in Section 07. Turn Exam-07 OFF in Section 04 and ON in Section 07. Students will only have access to the Exam for their section. 

NOTE:  To avoid penalizing students for whom an assignment is not required, Gradebook Modifications will need to be made.

EXAMPLE 2:  Prebuilt course

You don't want to use a prebuilt assignment, but also don't want to delete it. You can turn OFF the assignment (or Hide it). To remove the assignment's point value from grade calculations, Set Points to 0 or modify the gradebook.
