Assigning a problem set

At ASU, your course comes with a standard collection of problem sets preloaded. WeBWorK gives you ways to add, delete, and modify problems. These things are (or will be) addressed elsewhere in this document. Here we just deal with setting the dates, and making the assignment.

Setting the Dates:

  1. From the Instructor Tools page, click on the problem set you want do work with, and then click on "Edit one set" below it.
  2. Change the values for the Open, Due, and Answer dates following the format used for the current dates.
  3. You probably want to click on the checkbox for making the set visible to students so that once assigned, students will be able to see it.
  4. Click to Save Set.
Note, you can also get to this page from the left panel by clicking on Set List, and then clicking on the Edit link for the set you want.

Assigning the set to students:

  1. From the Instructor Tools page, click on the problem set you want to assign. Then click on "View/edit all users for one set" below that.
  2. If you want to assign the set to everyone, click on the button near the top labelled Assign to All Current Users.

    Note, you can assign the set to just a couple of people by using the checkboxes next to their names. This would let you assign a set to just yourself (if you wanted to).

Note, you can get to this page in a variety of ways. For example, you can go to the Set List from the left panel, and then click on the numbers in the Assign users column for the set you want.

You can also click on Set Assigner from the left panel. You can pick the users you want from the left column, and the set you want to assign in the right column, and then click Assign selected sets to selected users below.
