Status – Indicates information about the assignment:
- Upcoming – the assignment isn’t available.
- Open – The assignment is open, and you can submit responses.
- Late - You may still submit responses, but there may be a late penalty.
- Closed - The assignment is past due, and you may no longer submit responses. However, you can still view the questions.
- Submitted – shows you the number of questions you have submitted for an assignment.

You can filter the assignments in your course dashboard by using the drop-down menus under the course name (See (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\))). You can also sort your view by clicking the up or down triangle to the left of the criteria you want to sort: group, available from, due, statut, and submitted.

- A description of the assignment

The question information provided in the assignment includes the questions, date and time of your last submissions, question points, score, and solution (if available).
Types of Assignments
ADAPT is an online homework platform with a variety of assignment types, with each type representing a different assessment style and ways you will submit answers. The four general assignments in ADAPT are Real Time Graded, Delayed Grading, Learning Tree, or Clicker Assessments.
Here is a brief description of each assignment type:
- Real Time: Real-time assessments generally contain automatically graded questions and provide instant feedback about whether your submission was correct.
- Delayed Graded: these assignments generally contain questions that require extra grading by your instructor and will not provide immediate feedback once you’ve submitted a response. You will not see a grade for these assignments until the instructor releases them.
- Learning Tree: a learning tree assignment contains real-time graded (auto-graded) questions with targeted support materials to help you learn how to solve the problem.
-
Clicker Assignments: these assignments are often used in class to get feedback about your learning. They can be automatically graded, and you will receive instructions from your instructor about how to interact with these assignments.
