The lesson's questionnaire
After the lesson on habitats, you assign the questionnaire as homework, due Friday.
In one view, you see who has started, who has handed in and who is late.

Homework and assignments
Assign a document to your class as homework, see who has handed in and grade student by student. Multiple-choice questions are graded on submission.
A document, instructions, a due date
Pick the document from your materials, write the instructions and set a due date if you like. You can also assign it straight from the document, without going through the class first.
- The whole class or a few students: choose who receives it, and add or remove students at any time.
- From your materials: “Assign to a class” is offered in the open document and in your library's menu.
- Always up to date: the assignment follows the document's current version, so a fix to a question shows up for students right away.
See where each student stands
In the class's Assignments section, each assignment shows its due date and progress without you having to open it.
- Handed in out of assigned: “3 / 12” have handed in, and how many you have already graded.
- To follow: the assignments still waiting on a submission or on grading, nearest due date first.
- One status per student: not started, in progress, handed in or graded. Those to grade come first, and the list can be filtered by status.
- Late work is visible: a passed due date is flagged, and a late submission is accepted and marked as late.
Grade student by student
Open a student's submission: all their questions are there at once, in document order, with their answer and the validated answer.
- Already scored: single and multiple choice, true or false and short answer are graded on submission. Only long answers are left for you to read.
- Three ways to score: zero, full marks or a value of your choice, then a comment for the student.
- Previous student, next student: move between them without going back to the list. Nothing is published until you mark the work as graded.
- You stay in control: mark work as handed in on a student's behalf (paper copy), or reopen it so they can fix their answers.
You choose what the student sees
For each assignment, set when the student discovers their results. You can change your mind at any time: the new setting applies immediately.
- Never, after submission or after your grading: three ways to stay in control of the right answers.
- Self-grading: the student answers without seeing anything, then chooses to grade now and discovers their right and wrong answers, with each question's explanation.
- Only when the assignment allows it: self-grading is offered when every question can be graded automatically. Otherwise, Cooperius tells you which ones get in the way.
Use cases
How teachers use it on an ordinary school day.
A self-graded review
Before the exam, you assign a review made of multiple-choice and short-answer questions, in self-grading.
Your students see their mistakes and the explanation as soon as they grade, without waiting for you.
A reading to write about
You assign a reading followed by multiple-choice questions and one open-ended question.
The multiple-choice questions are scored on submission: you only read the open answer, then publish the grading with a note.
A paper copy
A student hands you their work on paper. You mark it as handed in for them.
Questions left unanswered in Cooperius stay unscored for you to judge: nothing is zero by default.
What your students experience
Each student only sees the assignments meant for them, in their class's Assignments section.
- Straight into the work: they open it, read your instructions, then answer question by question. Answers are saved as they go.
- Clear markers: the due date, how many questions are answered and where their submission stands — to do, started, handed in, late or graded.
- Their results: their grade and your comment once the work is graded, their mistakes and the right answers according to the setting you chose.
