Make a specific number of copies of an assignment

After you create an assignment for a class in your gradebook, you can copy that assignment to quickly make a duplicate for that class.

For example, assume you are assigning five identical homework assignments for the week (Worksheets 1-5). You can create the homework assignment for Worksheet 1, and simply copy it four times to save yourself the time it takes to define the assignment and its point information.

To copy assignments for a class:

1. Log on to the Staff view.
2. Click the Gradebook tab.
3. Click the Assignments side-tab.
4. Select the checkbox(es) next to the assignment(s) you want to copy.
5. On the Options menu, click Copy Assignments. The system asks you to confirm the number of assignments you want to copy. Click OK. The system copies the assignments, and puts 'Copy:' in front of each name.
6. Select the checkbox next to an assignment you want to modify, and click Details on the Assignments side-tab.
7. Edit information specific for this assignment. For example, you might want to change the name from Worksheet 1 to Worksheet 2.
8. Click Save.
9. Continue to make any changes you need for each copied assignment.

   Note: You can copy an assignment from a locked grade term, but will need to change it to an unlocked grade term to save it. If you copy several assignments at once, Aspen skips any assignment associated with a locked grade term.
