Tutorials provides instructors with the ability to assign due dates, create Student Sets to collect student results and activity data, add and remove students from Student Sets, and to copy assignments and settings between Student Sets.
How do I set due dates?
You can set Grades Accepted Until dates for Tutorial assignments. In fact, Tutorial assignments work best when a due date has been set. After a Grades Accepted Until date for an assignment passes, students can continue to answer questions, but will no longer be able to improve their grade on that assignment.
Here’s how to set up Grades Accepted Until dates:
Select a Student Set in the Select a Student Set drop-down menu.
Click [set] across from the assignment.
Select a Grades Accepted Until date and click the Set Grades Accepted Until button. The first time you set a GAU, you'll be asked to choose your time zone. The next time you create a GAU, your time zone will be automatically selected.
