Print assignment items

Updated 29 Aug 2024

Printing Mastering standard assignment items can give you the chance to work out calculations on paper before you enter your answers online. Printable items contain text and images. Audio, video, and some drawing tool content may not lend itself to printing and working on questions. For example, any videos will print as a static image.

Your instructor controls whether students can print an assignment. For questions you have completed, the printed version includes the same answer feedback (if you can see this when online).

Among the standard assignment types you cannot print:

  1. Open the assignment.
  2. Select Print Assignment (bottom right) to open the print preview, which shows which items or parts of items will print. The assignment is reformatted so you can more easily scroll through it.
    • If you haven’t worked on the assignment yet:
      Any item Parts (A, B, etc.) not visible online until you complete the previous Part are also not visible in the print preview.
    • If you have worked on this assignment:
      Your answers and any answer feedback are included, provided your instructor allows you to see answer feedback on the assignment.
  3. Select Print (top right).
  4. Enter any needed information in your Print dialog box, and then choose Print or OK.
  5. Select Exit Print View (top left) to return to the assignment summary.

If the print quality is not what you expected:
Try printing darker or checking your printer driver. If available, try the PDF driver.
