Delete an assignment

Instructors can delete Mastering assignments from any course they create or copy. Any section instructor with the Assignments privilege can also delete assignments.

Notes:

Warning: When you delete an assignment, any student work and grades associated with the assignment are removed from this course. Assignments that are deleted cannot be retrieved. collapsedRead these suggested alternatives:

If you don't want an assignment to count toward student grades, consider making the assignment for practice instead of for credit, rather than deleting student work. You can use either of the following methods, and you can do this either before or after students work on the assignment:

  1. In the Mastering Gradebook, click the column header for the Learning Catalytics session column that you want to delete.

    Tip: To confirm that you're deleting the correct data, you can point to the column header to see the module title, session ID, and date. Learning Catalytics scores always have a blue column header.
