Dealing with Assessment

• If there are multiple parts of exam, each part will be graded individually, then the instructor will have to put the calculated total in the grade book.• COP 1334 • If the assessment is outside D2L, instructor has to put the grade

manually back to D2L grade book • CTS 2383, CGS 1557

Dealing with Assessment

• CGS 1510 and CGS 1540 uses assignment as Course Evaluation• Since we cannot password-lock an assignment to make sure it is done in a

proctored environment, we zip companion files and password-lock the zip file. • The password can be found under Proctor Instructions file under file

management
