Canvas @ Yale
- Duplicating an Assignment
Updated on Dec 06, 2021
Canvas allows you to duplicate an assignment. This may be useful for quickly creating assignments with the same settings such as weekly assignments.
All items in an assignment are duplicated including the name, description, point value, and options, except for the following situations:
- Copied peer review assignments retain the peer review setting and Assign Review date, but the number of reviews per user will be set to zero.
- If a differentiated assignment includes an "Everyone Else" date, the copied assignment retains the Everyone Else due date, if any.
- If a differentiated assignment does not include an "Everyone Else" date, the copied assignment does not include a due date.
- Copied external tool (LTI) assignments may need to be reconfigured.
- Classic Quizzes cannot be duplicated, but quizzes using the New Quiz engine can be duplicated.
- Click on " Assignments " from the course navigation .
- Click on the three dot icon next to the assignment you want to duplicate.
- Select " Duplicate ."
- You can edit the assignment to change the name.
- Duplicating an assignment defaults the copied assignment to an unpublished status.

Allowing a Resubmission
By default, resubmissions are always allowed if the instructor leaves the Attempts setting at "Unlimited". After students submit their assignment, they may revisit the assignment to submit a new version. As the instructor, you can view the various versions of the submission, deciding which version to accept and grade. Prevent students from revisiting the assignment by limiting the number of attempts in the assignment settings or set an Until availability date.
Can a student resubmit an assignment?

To create an assignment that the students will submit as part of a group, check the box for "This is a Group Assignment" in the Group Assignment area.

Create an assignment in canvas.
In Canvas, any activity with an associated point value is considered an Assignment and will appear on the Assignments page, as well as in the gradebook. Assignment formats include quizzes, discussions, online document submission, and no submission, and external tool assignments. You can give an assignment to everyone in the course or target it to a specific section or user.
Types of Graded Activities in Canvas
The following table lists the types of graded activities in Canvas and their strengths and weaknesses.
| Multiple submission types, alignment with rubrics and outcomes, no paper waste, easier to control content, easier to randomize, faster grading, student submission directly to instructor and TAs | Potential technical problems such as network problems or internet connectivity loss, possible file size limitations, less personal feedback, learning curve for teachers or students not familiar with Canvas or technology in general | |
| Quizzes | Automatic grading and regrading, multiple attempts, instant feedback | No regrading if you pulled questions from a question bank, cannot add points automatically, limited regrading options |
| Surveys | Instant feedback, faster grading, no paper waste, faster than passing out paper surveys to hundreds of students Points awarded based on survey submission | Potential technical problems Not available in New Quizzes format |
| Discussions | Discussions not limited to a single class period. Students have more time to formulate responses, keeps a record of comments for grading purposes, shy students more likely to participate. All students in the class can see the submission so students can get ideas from each other. | Potentially time-consuming to read comments from large groups of students, potential technical problems, students may not do their own work after seeing work of others (can be circumvented using the requirement to post before seeing other student replies) |
To Create an Assignment
On the Course Navigation menu, click Assignments
On the Assignments list page, click Add Assignment

- How do I copy content from one Canvas course site to another Canvas course site?
Instructors, TA or Course Designers can copy content and activities from one Canvas course site to another Canvas course site if they have an account on both sites.
Go to the new Canvas site and click “Settings”
On the right side of the display, click “Import Course Content”
Use the Content Type Dropdown box and select "Copy a Canvas Course"
Select the course you want to copy
As you start typing a course name, the list will filter.
Under Content, select either "All Content" or "Select Specific Content"
To import all content from the course, select the All Content radio button.
If you select the "Select specific content" option, you will be able to select which content to copy after the copy function has been processed.
Optional - Adjust Events and Due Dates
As part of a course import, you can adjust the due dates associated with course events and assignments. You can also shift due dates to a different day, or remove all associated due dates.
We recommend that you do not use this option. Instead, adjust the dates of assignments and events individually after they are imported.

Tim Walz's military record: What to know about potential VP's National Guard service
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday, choosing a progressive yet plain-spoken VP candidate from America’s heartland to help her win over rural, white voters.
“I’m pleased to share that I’ve made my decision: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will join our campaign as my running mate,” Harris said via text to supporters. “Tim is a battle-tested leader who has an incredible track record of getting things done for Minnesota families. I know that he will bring that same principled leadership to our campaign, and to the office of the vice president.”
We look at Walz, a 60-year-old U.S. Army National Guard veteran, and his military career over the years.
More: Tim Walz is Kamala Harris' VP pick: Minnesota governor named running mate: Live updates
How long was Walz in the military?
Walz served in the military for 24 years, enlisting in the Nebraska National Guard at 17 in 1981 and then transferring to the Minnesota National Guard in 1996. He retired in 2005 to begin his successful run for the U.S. House, representing Minnesota as command sergeant major, among the highest ranks for enlisted soldiers. His battalion went on to deploy to Iraq shortly after Walz's retirement.
Walz specialized in heavy artillery and had proficiency ribbons in sharpshooting and hand grenades.
But during the 21 years that Walz spent working with large artillery pieces, he suffered hearing loss and tinnitus in both ears, Minnesota Public Radio reported. He was allowed to continue his service after undergoing surgery, which partially resolved his hearing loss.
Where did Walz serve, and what did he do in the National Guard?
During his service, Walz responded to natural disasters, including floods and tornadoes in Minnesota and Nebraska, and was deployed overseas for months at a time, according to MPR.
In 2003, he was sent to Italy, where he served with the European Security Force to support the war in Afghanistan. He was also stationed in Norway for joint training with other NATO militaries.
Walz told MPR that he reenlisted in the National Guard after the September 11 attacks but never saw active combat in his years in the military.
Stars and Stripes reported in 2020 that Walz credited his Army experience with helping him steer Minnesota through the COVID-19 pandemic as governor.
As governor of Minnesota, Walz is commander in chief of the 13,000-soldier Minnesota National Guard. “I’m certainly proud of my military service, but it’s one piece of me,” he told Minnesota Public Radio in 2018. “It doesn’t define me.”
