Assignment Overview Settings

Note: You can change “Classes” to “Period” or “Section” by navigating to Tools → Login/School Information and clicking the “edit” button next to school information.

Select "Individuals or Groups" from the class list drop-down menu.

Below the drop-down menu, click the link to "choose students."

You can select individual students or create groups. To create a group, click “New Group,” enter a name for the group, and select the students to include.

Click “Back to Assignment and Save Changes” when finished.

Note: An assignment can be assigned either to 1) individual and groups or 2) classes, but not both at the same time.

When an assignment is created for a Google Classroom class, a green box with additional options will appear.

You have the option to write an assignment description, which will display for your students within Google Classroom.

Enter a value for the number of points you want your assignment to be worth in the Google Classroom gradebook. Note: If you do not want the assignment to post to Google Classroom, set the points to -1.

You can also select a topic within your Google Classroom class for the assignment.

There are three different options for how you would like your grades to be passed back to your Google Classroom gradebook.

At Due Date - Grades will be sent to your Google Classroom gradebook when the assignment is due and will continuously auto-update moving forward.

After 15 Minutes - Grades will be passed back to your Google Classroom gradebook after 15 minutes of inactivity from the student. Grades will auto-update in your gradebook as students continue to work, even after the due date.

Manual Passback - Grades will not automatically pass back to your Google Classroom gradebook. They will only update when you use the icon on the assignment data view.

Note: If the student never opens the assignment, their grade will be blank in your Google Classroom gradebook. They must open the assignment at least once for a grade to pass back.

If you select "No Limit," the assignment will remain untimed, and students can access the assignment until it is hidden.

If you select “Limited,” additional options will appear. You can set the timer (in hours and minutes) for the amount of time students have once they open the assignment. The timer will continue running regardless of whether students log out or become inactive. For example, if a student opens a timed assignment and then either logs out or closes their computer, the timer will keep running in the background until time is up.

In the student view, students will see a icon for any timed assignments, as well as the amount of time given for the assignment.

After a student clicks “Open Assignment,” they will see the assignment details and have the option to “Start Assignment Now." Once they start the assignment, they cannot pause the timer.

While working on their timed assignment, students will receive updated timing notifications.

Once time has run out, a student can no longer access the assignment unless the teacher gives them additional time.

You can allocate additional time per student to meet individual accommodations or needs. To customize how much time a student initially has to complete an assignment, click “Manage extra time."

Next, select the drop-down menu next to the student's name. DeltaMath will remember your preferences for this assignment and all future timed assignments (until you change the setting). Once you are done, click “Back to Assignment and Save Changes.” Example: In the example in this screenshot, the original assignment has a time limit of 1 hour.

Chris was given an extra time factor of “Times 1.5.” When Chris opens his assignment, he will see that he has 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete the assignment.

Edgar was given an extra time factor of “Times 2.” When Edgar opens his assignment, he will see that he has 2 hours to complete the assignment.

Note: Changing the “manage extra time” setting will customize how much time a student is initially given to complete an assignment or test. If you need to give additional time after the student starts the assignment or test, you can give them additional time.

When setting a time limit, the option to "Restrict Other Assignments" will appear.

If you select “Yes” for “Restrict Other Assignments," students will not be able to access any other DeltaMath assignments until they have finished the timed assignment. If they attempt to navigate to their homepage, they will receive a notice that they are restricted.

If the student finishes early (and the settings are configured to restrict other assignment), they will have the option to click “End Assignment Early."

Note: The restrict other assignments feature is not a lockdown browser, but it will prevent students from going to other DeltaMath assignments where they may have access to examples or videos.

Select “On” from the Student Work Upload drop-down menu.

Students will see the option to click to upload work for their assignment.

Students have the option to scan a QR code to upload images from their phone or to upload directly from their device.

After uploading their work, students can review it and choose to “Upload More Work” if necessary.
