Tutor Assignment Addon
To completely assess your students, one of the things that really help are tasks or assignments. Some of your courses might require thorough research that you won’t be able to judge based solely on questions on a quiz. That’s where you can include assignments. You can also insert tasks that take off the pressure to perform well on a quiz. So that when you give out a result it’s based completely on the merits of both test results and assignments.
Hence Tutor Assignment addon comes with all the options that make sure students can submit assignments easily and you can review them thoroughly as well.
