The third step of creating your assignment after you have added your questions is setting assignment policies.  This allows you to set the type of assignment, time limits and other display options. Each assignment type has its own default settings. All settings are optional.

1. Select one of the four default assignment types, Homework, Quiz, Exam, or Practice. The default assignment type is Homework.
   
   Check the box “Remember the settings below for the next  Homework I create.”, if you want to customize the default assignment type settings and have Homework Manager remember them the next time you select that type.
   
   
2. Select how many attempts a student will be able to attempt the assignment. The default is unlimited.
3. If you want to limit the amount of time a student has to complete the assignment, select Time Limit next to the minutes field and enter the amount of time in minutes. The timer starts once the student enters the assignment.
4. To add a window of time you want the assignment to be available to students, enter an Available date and a Due date.  Students will be able to see the assignment in their list of assignments, but will not be able to start it until the specified Available date. Students must submit their assignments by the Due date. [Explain late submissions]
5. The remaining options are related to assignment feedback and permissions.
   
   Feedback options during the assignment:
   
   Allow students to receive feedback in between questions – when this option is checked the students will be presented each question one at a time. After they submit their answer for a question, any feedback information you have provided for the question will be displayed. The students will not be able to go back and change their answer when this option is selected.
   Allow students to check their work – when this option is checked, students will be provided with a Check My Work link to see if they answered the question correctly before moving onto the next question.

   This option, if checked, will only allow your students to view feedback options after a specified number of days beyond the assignment due date/time OR after a specified date. This is also prevents the sharing of answers while the assignment is available.
