Home » Assessments » Assignments » Previewing an Assignment

Once you have created an Assignment folder, you can preview the folder to see it as students would.  You can even submit the assignment and grade it if you wish to see the entire Assignment cycle from the student perspective.

  1. From the Assignment Folders list, click More Actions and select  Preview from the list.
  2. If you plan to submit and grade the preview, make sure that the checkbox in front of  Bypass any restrictions on submitting to folders is selected.  This will ensure that you can preview and submit outside of any availability dates or othe release criteria that you may have specified.
  3. Click on the name of the assignment you wish to preview.
  4. View the Assignments.
  5. If you plan to submit the assignment for grading, make sure you check the box in front of Allow this preview submission to be available in the Assignments and then click the Submit button. After submitting, click Done.
  6. When you are finished previewing assignments, click Exit Preview.
