To create an assignment in an Ultra course, click the plus sign where you'd like it to go and choose Create.
Choose Assignment on the right-side panel.
Give the assignment a name.
By default, students are able to upload assignments without you doing anything. If you want to add explanatory text , click the plus sign and choose "Add text".
If you want to include a template or other file, choose "Add local file".
The assignment settings are on the right. Just click any of them to view all settings.
Set the due date at the top.
Scroll down and you can set the grading options. You can change the Grade Center category to place the assignment in.
You can give the student multiple or unlimited attempts to submit the assignment. If you do, you can also control which attempt "counts" for the grade.
Next, you can control whether it's graded by points, percentage or a letter grade, as well as how many points the assignment is worth.
Scroll down further and you can enable SafeAssign plagiarism detection.
Click the Enable SafeAssign toggle.
If you want students to see their SafeAssign reports, check the "Allow students to view the SafeAssign...." box.
If this is a partial or rough-draft submission and you are going to have the students submit later, you must click the "Exclude submissions..." checkbox to keep SafeAssign from marking the students' second submissions as plagiarized.
Click the Save button to accept the settings.
In order for students to be able to submit the assignment, you'll need to change the visibility from "Hidden from students" to "Visible to students".
You can then close the assignment page with the X button.
