Step 2 - Add Questions

The next step is to add questions to your assignment.

Create Assignment - Step 2

The Add Questions panel is divided into three main sections. The top source panel is used to select and filter the question bank source. The bottom left pane is where available questions appear after a source has been selected. The bottom right pane is where your list of assignemnt questions you select are displayed.

To add questions to your assignment:

Select a textbook from the Source menu. By default Homework Manager automatically selects the textbook you chose when adding your course.
From the Pool menu, select a chapter or segment of the source you want Homework Manager to display questions for in the Available Questions region.
Next, you can optionally filter the list of available questions by predefined categories. Click the reveal icon to view filter category options. Selecting a category filter will update the list of available questions. See the Question Categories section for more information.
Once you have your list of questions filtered, you can begin selecting questions for your assignment. Homework Manager provides a couple of different ways of selecting questions.

Click the Add Multiple Questions button to have Homework Manager automatically add a set number of available questions to your assignment.

Alternatively, you can preview each question you want to add to your assignment by clicking the question name link in the Available Questions list. The preview window displays the question, answer, explanation, and other question data associated with it.

To add the question to your assignment, simply click the Add link next to the question title. The question will appear in your assignment’s list of questions.

While previewing a question, the Previous and Next links in the top right corner of the preview window allow you to conveniently page through the list of available questions. The Close link will close the preview window.
To add questions from the Available Questions list without previewing them, simply click the Add icon .

Questions containing multiple parts can be added together at one time by clicking the main question typically containing “required information” in the title. This will bring the question and all of its sub-question parts into your assignment with a single click.
Lastly, Homework Manager allows you to create your own questions to add to your assignment. Click the New Question button above your assignment’s list of questions. Select the question type you want to add to your assignment from the menu that appears.
