Completing a Web Assignment
On the home course page you will have a list of all assignments, all due dates are in your local timeframe set up by your instructor. Recognize a web assignment by the computer icon; these types of assignments can be viewed/printed as a condensed pdf or as a series of slides (one question at a time). To view the assignment click the link next to the icon.
Viewing as pdf
The questions themselves will be viewable in an embedded PDF, you can choose to open this PDF in its own tab or download it. The assignment will have instructions at the top of the page followed by the questions you have to answer. When you are ready to submit your answer, select it in the "My Answers" menu on the right and then click on "submit".
Once you have submitted answers you will either get a checkmark (for a correct answer) or "Started" (for an incorrect answer) under status, the tries column will tell you how many attempts you have left on each question and points will tell you how many points you have currently earned on that question.
