AVAILABILITY
When the “Allow
submissions from, Due
date, and Cut-off
date” values are not enabled (no checkmark beside Enable), assignments
can be viewed and submitted at any time.
The Allow submissions from option prevents students from submitting an assignment before the set date and time.
The Due date option is just as it says.
The Cut-off date is the date and time after which submissions will no longer be accepted if the Enable box is checked. If this option is set later than the Due date, students can submit their assignments late.
If Due date is set but Cut-off date is NOT enabled, assignments may be submitted late (forever) but will be flagged in red when you go to mark them.
Remind me to grade by is an option for your benefit that simply reminds you to mark your assignments.
If you set a Time limit, once the students access the assignment, they will only have this amount of time before they must upload their assignment. This is mostly useful for midterms, finals, etc.
The Always show description checkbox determines whether or not students can see the assignment description before the assignment is available for submission.
