The following kinds of assignments can be created in ALEKS: Homework,
Quizzes, Tests, and Scheduled Assessments. All are optional: ALEKS
can be used without any of these, but they may enhance the effectiveness
of ALEKS in certain instructional contexts. Homework, Quizzes,
and Tests are similar in how they are configured. The process of creating
a Homework assignment will be described below in full detail; Scheduled
Assessments will be treated more briefly, focusing on how they differ
from Homework, Quizzes, and Tests.
All assignments are separate categories in the ALEKS Gradebook
(Sec. 6.5), and so it is helpful to
keep them distinct from the viewpoint of class management and grading.
