Assignments | How to find the assignment of your course in Brightspace
Does your course require you to hand in a report or another type of file to an assignment? Here are a few details you should not miss when submitting your work in Brightspace.
There are two types of assignments: Individual and Group. In case of an individual assignment, you can simply proceed to submission based on the instructions of your lecturer. However, in case you are expected to hand in work as a group, make sure you are enrolled in one (this might depend on the setting of the group enrollment created by your lecturer).
