Help, this is my first time teaching this class and I want to copy assignments from another instructor. This is very possible if the instructor is still available. You simply need to enroll in their course and have them make you a TA. Then you will be able to copy the assignments from their course to yours.
-If the previous instructor is not available then we can still probably make it happen, but you are going to have to go out of your way to prove that your request is legit. Sorry, we cannot just take your word for it over email. A link to your faculty page, that verifies your email as a legitimate instructor at the same institution of the instructor of the course you want to copy. We would love to just trust everyone, but data privacy laws are strict and we have to to treat data privacy very carefully. Thanks for understanding.

To grade student performance, go back to the instructor's interface and click on the grading tab. You'll see something like this.
-Typically, you will select an assignment from the first dropdown. This will show you summary of the elements that are automatically graded. The other option is Chapter and you can use this to drill in on a chapter and look at a students work on any problem in the textbook regardless of whether it was part of an assignment.
-From here you can also select a question or questions as well as a student or students to manually grade a problem. You can also use this to view a students answer to an automatically graded problem if they have a question about their score.
-You will see the last version of code that the student ran prior to the assignment deadline. Click run to execute it. Drag the little scrubber across the timeline next to the Run button to see other versions of the code that the student ran.
-You can assign a number grade (number of points) and, optionally, leave a comment. As you tab out of the grade box you will see it turn green to indicate that the grade has been updated in the database. Similarly if you leave a comment it will automatically update the database with the comment for the student.
-If you prefer to work on one question at a time there is a save and next button that will automatically move on the next item to grade.
-Some questions have been configured for auto-grading, in particular coding problems with unit tests and some multiple choice problems.
