Hints:

  • Manual assignments are those assignments which the instructor collects in class, such as an in class quiz or exam or a paper that students submit in person.
  • If the assignment is extra credit, first create the assignment and save, and then edit the assignment to make it extra credit. Directions on how to make a gradable item extra credit can be found here: https://answers.fredonia.edu/x/rYAg
