Edit Assignment

Edit an assignment in Microsoft Teams
Edit an assignment even after you’ve assigned it to your students. Add additional resources, update the assignment timeline, change the points available, and more.
Note: Rubrics can't be added to assignments you've already posted to students.

NOTE: You can't edit the original resource template you sent to the students (e.g. Powerpoint / document) - you'll need to change it in each student's copy - better to delete the assignment and re-set it if there's a major change.

Assignment return/Feedback cycle

Review, return, and turn in assignments using the feedback loop
Every educator has their own approach for giving feedback. Because we know that engagement and learning often occur through an iterative process of drafting, incorporating feedback, and submitting revisions, Assignments is built around how real classrooms function.

Grading

Track student progress in the Grades tab
Each of your class teams has a Grades tab where you can view assignments at a glance as well as track how individual students in your class are progressing. Use the Grades tab to get an overview of your class, access data quickly, open, and return student work.

Select any student's name to view a detailed list of their grades in your class so far.
