Create a composition assignment
A composition assignment is one in which each student writes a document and submits it to you for review. You review, comment on, and grade the document and submit it to the student. As part of creating the assignment, you can also require multiple drafts and allow students to upload and attach up to three files to their submissions.
Tips
- When reviewing the drafts, you have the option of grading each draft or only the final draft. For all drafts, graded or ungraded, you can submit review comments to students.
- You and your students can submit composition assignments to SourceCheck for an originality check. See SourceCheck originality checker for more information.
