How do I create assignments that include multiple section or page ranges?

Creating a multi-part assignment

When you create an assignment, you will be prompted to select a page range or section range (from the Table of Contents). If you would like to create a single assignment with multiple page or section ranges (e.g., read pages 40-50 and 56-58), click Add another part when creating the assignment to build a multipart assignment.  Each "part" is a page rage or section range.

You can also use the multi-select tool to assign multiple items together directly from your library.

Viewing a multi-part assignment

When you create a multipart assignment, students will see one part at a time, and can navigate between the parts using the Next part button at the top and bottom of each assignment part, or clicking on the Assignment Information to see all quickly navigate through all parts.

Scoring

Multipart assignments are graded as a single assignment. For example, if you require 5 comments for full credit, then students can distribute their 5 comments in any way they like among each of the parts.  For this reason, we generally suggest that you specify custom scoring for when creating multi-part assignments to ensure that your automatic scoring criteria fits your goals.
