I find building units and making assignments cumbersome. After making an assignment template, it seems like you have to start completely over by searching for the same method book...so many clicks. Try this (maybe I'm late to the party on this one)
I'm using a method book to make most of my assignments.
- search the book and open, not assign, the first assignment
- Open an identical tab (click on the web-address bar to select, and command+enter)
- Go to the Assessment tab.
- Click Assign on the right
- Make the assignment as normal.
- Go back the tab you opened.
Then you don't need to re-search the book. Hope this helps at least one person!
