Teachers can add new assignments to more than one class section at the same time. At the bottom of the New Assignment dialog, you can choose a number of ways to select which sections to add the new assignment to. For this feature to function properly, each section to which you want to copy an assignment must have identically spelled Assignment Category names.


This Section Only

The new assignment will be added to the current section only. This is the default setting.


All my Sections of this Course

The new assignment will be added to all your sections of the same course. For example if you teach three sections of Grade 5 Math, you can choose this option to add the new assignment to all three of those math sections. If the other sections do not have a matching Assignment Category, the category from the current section will be copied to the other sections. This option is only available if you teach more than one section of the same course during the same marking period.  Please note that if one section has an assignment category of �Test� (singular) for example and a separate section has an assignment category of �Tests� (plural), a new category of �Test� (singular) will be created in the second class and perhaps affect your assignment category calculations in ways you did not plan for.  This is why Assignment Categories must be named consistently between sections.  


All my Sections that have a matching Category Name

The new assignment will be added to all your class sections that have the same Assignment Category defined spelled exactly the same. For example, say you teach 5th Grade English, 6th Grade English, and 5th Grade Math. If both of your English sections have a category named �Essays� (and your Math class doesn't), then you can add the same Essay Assignment to both English classes using this option.
