Set defaults for new assignments and classes

Open Settings > Teaching, then find Assignment defaults and Classroom defaults. These settings reduce repeated setup without taking control away from each new assignment or class.

Teaching collects the account-level choices that seed standards search, scheduling, new assignments, and new classrooms. Existing work keeps its own saved values. Select the image to enlarge it.

Set the starting assignment choices

Section titled “Set the starting assignment choices”
These choices seed each new assignment. You can change that assignment afterward, and changing the account default never rewrites work already created. Select the image to enlarge it.

Choose:

  • Revision policy: whether new assignments begin by allowing revisions after feedback or as one-shot submissions.
  • Grading scale: whether rubric scores begin with a traditional or standards-based interpretation.
  • Late-penalty policy: the starting policy for work submitted after the due date. When Per day is selected, set the daily deduction and maximum total deduction.

You can change these choices while creating an individual assignment. Updating the account default never rewrites an assignment that already exists.

Set the starting classroom celebration level

Section titled “Set the starting classroom celebration level”
The selected account default becomes the starting celebration intensity for new and imported classes. Select the image to enlarge it.

Choose Standard or Minimal celebration intensity. New and imported classes begin with this value, and each class can later use its own setting. Existing classes keep what they already saved.

These defaults save immediately when selected.
