Course Summary, and Finalise
Once you select a course offering the Course Summary window will open to display the current use of AssignIT for that course offering, as well as the Finalise button.
Note: See below for more information about the Finalise button but it is imperative that you do NOT click the Finalise button until the end of the study period and you want your students' grades pushed from AssignIT into Results Entry - as once you click the Finalise button you will not be able to change any of the AssignIT configurations for this course offering.
When you first enter the Course Summary window it will be empty, as shown below:
However as you create new assessment items they will be displayed on this page.
The Course Summary window displays:
- Assessment item title
- A green tick for Yes, or a red cross for No for whether the assessment item has been scheduled
- A green tick for Yes, or a red cross for No for whether the assessment item is to be graded
- A green tick for Yes, or a red cross for No for whether the students should submit this assignment via AssignIT
- A green tick for Yes, or a red cross for No for whether the
students will be able to see this assignment via AssignIT or MyUniSA
(the student portal)
Note: If you want students to be able to submit their assignments via AssignIT you must ensure a green tick is visible. Generally the only time to select NO is when you plan to enter marks for an examination. - The percentage of marked assessment items that have been returned to the students
- The Total mark for the assessment item
- Weighting of the assessment item
- Quick links to the AssignIT Schedule, Edit, Collect, Return and Report screens for the assessment item. Each of these functions is also available from the left hand navigation of the AssignIT site.
If you are setting up AssignIT to accept assignments the next step is to create a new assessment item.
Finalise
Activating the Finalise function will automatically push assessment item details (title, total mark, weighting) as well as all students' grades (that are entered in AssignIT) for every assessment item in the course for the current study period into Results Entry. Only Course Coordinators are able to finalise AssignIT.
Note: Once you click the Finalise button you will NOT be able to make any changes to AssignIT for the course offering. You are therefore strongly advised not to click the Finalise button until the end of the study period when it is time to put students' final grades into Results Entry.
So, towards the end of the study period when you need to put your students' grades into Results Entry you can access AssignIT, select the course and study period, and on the Course Summary page:
- Click Finalise as indicated by the red arrow in the image above.
When the course offering has been finalised the button disappears and a message appears at the top of the window to show that the course offering has been finalised and no more changes can be made to AssignIT:
If you are at the end of the study period and have just clicked Finalise you should now access Results Entry to view the results and allocate final grades. The Result Entry interface can be accessed via the myTeaching pillar of the staff portal. If you experience any problems relating to access to Results Entry, please contact your School Timetabler.
