Copy an Assignment or Assignment Template

These directions are for copying one assignment at a time. These can be assignments that you have created, one that a colleague shared with you, a Peerceptiv-curated assignment, or an Institution Template assignment. Copying an assignment allows you to make an exact copy of the assignment description, settings, and rubric. You will need to edit the deadlines and form any groups, if needed, before the students begin the assignment.

Copy an Assignment: These can be any assignments that you have created or are shared with you by a colleague or Peerceptiv.
