Note: Practice assignments will not copy from one course to another and will need to be recreated using the steps in this guide.
If you would like to reopen an assignment for practice, we recommend using our Assign for Practice feature. The Assign for Practice feature will copy your existing assignment and allow your students to complete the assignment for practice.
To use the Assign for Practice feature, follow the steps below.
- Login to www.mybusinesscourse.com.
- Select Go to Course.
- Locate your assignment and select the Edit button.
- Select Assign for Practice. (You may need to scroll down the list to find the option)
The Practice version of the assignment will be set up as follows:
- Uses the Practice template
- Set to Open upon the Closing of the graded version and remain open throughout the course
- Set to 0 points (ungraded).
You will have the opportunity to configure your settings. Below are the settings that can be modified.
- Name – Allows you to rename the practice assignment.
- Section Dates – Allows you to adjust the Open/Close dates and times of the practice assignment. You can also adjust the number of attempts allowed.
Note: The practice assignment will open on the close date of your original assignment and will have unlimited attempts by default.
- Hide assignment until open date – This feature will hide the assignment from sections that have an open date set in the future for the practice assignment. Once the open date passes for a specific section, the assignment will become visible for that section automatically.
Note: Removing a section's open date before the open date passes will disable this feature and automatically make the assignment visible for that section.
- Points – Allows you to adjust the points for the practice assignment if you prefer it to be graded.
Note: The practice assignment will be worth zero points by default.
