This is your site's tagline and can be changed

Assessments are what Autolab calls homework assignments

  • You can make as many assessments for your course as you need
  • There’s a few options in creating an assessment – first we focus on the “from scratch” method.
    • With this way, all you need at first is the name of the assessment. All other fields can be ignored for now.
    • Once created, you can go back and edit the assessment, and then edit a variety of settings:
      • For a more in-depth document on the penalties and dates involved in an assessment: Autolab Penalties, etc
      • For all other settings please consult this in-depth document
  • Another option: import assessment from tarball
    • You can upload a .tar file which contains all of the assessment configuration already. This could come from two places:
      • A previous semester’s assignment, which is exported as a .tar file
      • A .tar file created from scratch (less recommended option, as it has many intricacies and potential pitfalls)
