Availability Dates

There are a few things to consider if you plan on using module requirements and prerequisites with assignments. Please review this page and the tabs above for potential conflicts with assignment and module settings.

In the assignment settings be careful about setting Available From & Until dates. If an assignment with module requirements for submission, score at least, or contribute to the page has Available From and Until dates set and a student does not submit the assignment before the Until date passes, this student will not be able to progress to the prerequisite module. (1) It is best not use the Available From and Until dates for assignments with module requirements. If students submit late, there will be a notation that the assignment was late. (2) OR use the differentiated assignment option to make adjustments to the due date and availability dates for the students who did not submit by the Until date the first time. See Differentiated Assignments for more information.

Quiz Settings

If a quiz with module requirements of score at least only one attempt set and a student does not earn the required amount of points with the first attempt, the student will not be able to progress in the module requirements and prerequisites. (1) It is best to allow multiple attempts so the student can achieve the required score if they do not achieve it on the first try. (2) In the multiple attempt settings you can decide what score is kept. (3) When Allow Multiple Attempts is checked the student will have unlimited number of attempts which is probably best when using the score at least requirement. If desired, check the box next to allowed attempts and enter a numerical value. See view Creating a Graded Quiz for more details. If a student does not meet the score after the number of allowed attempts, you can moderate the quiz to allow more attempts. See Managing Quizzes for more details on Moderating Quizzes.

Excusing Assignments

If using the one requirement option with several assignments in a module, you can excuse the assignments that students do not complete. The excused assignments will not be included in the students' total grade. In the gradebook for the assignments the students don't complete enter EX in assignment cell for the student. This will remove the assignment from the total calculation. See Viewing the Gradebook for further details.

Changing Requirements

If you edit a module and change requirements after students have already submitted required assignments, you will be presented with the requirements changed dialog box. You can choose re-lock modules or continue. (1) If you choose to re-lock the module, students will be forced to complete the changes you made to requirements. (2) If you choose continue, the students can continue where they left off in the module requirements.
