Managing Homework
Tawaasal's homework module lets you create assignments, attach supporting files, set due dates, and review student submissions — all in one place.
Accessing Homework
- Navigate to Homework from the sidebar.
- You will see a list of all homework assignments you have created, organized by class and subject.
- Create Homework opens the form to create a new assignment.
- Search assignments by title.
- View Submissions opens an assignment to review student work.
- The edit icon opens the assignment for editing.
Creating a New Assignment
- Click the Create Homework button.
- Fill in the assignment details:
- Title — A clear, descriptive title for the assignment.
- Description — Instructions for students. Use the rich text editor to format your content.
- Class — Select the class this homework is for.
- Subject — Choose the relevant subject.
- Due Date — Set when the assignment is due.
- Attach Files (optional) — Click the attachment button to upload supporting materials such as worksheets, reading materials, or reference documents.
- Click Save to publish the assignment.
You can attach multiple files to a single assignment. Supported formats include PDF, Word documents, images, and more. Students will be able to download these files when viewing the assignment.
Once published, the assignment becomes visible to all students in the selected class. Students and their guardians will receive a notification (depending on notification settings).
Viewing Assignment Details
Click on any homework title to see the full details, including:
- The assignment description and attached files
- A list of student submissions with their status
- Due date and any late submissions
- The assignment title and description.
- Submission statistics — totals, grading progress, and on-time versus late counts.
- The submissions list, where you review the work submitted by each student.
Reviewing Student Submissions
- Open the assignment by clicking its title.
- Scroll to the Submissions section.
- For each student, you can see:
- Whether they have submitted their work
- The date and time of submission
- Any files the student attached
- Click on a submission to view the student's work.
Editing an Assignment
- On the Homework list, click the edit icon next to the assignment.
- Update the fields as needed (title, description, due date, attachments).
- Click Save to apply your changes.
If students have already submitted work, be cautious about changing the assignment description or due date. Students will be notified of changes, but any confusion should be addressed with an announcement or message.
Tips for Effective Homework Management
- Set clear due dates — Give students enough time to complete the work while keeping a regular rhythm.
- Use descriptive titles — "Chapter 5 Reading Questions" is more helpful than "Homework 3".
- Attach reference materials — Upload worksheets or guides so students have everything they need in one place.
- Check submissions regularly — Stay on top of who has submitted and follow up with students who have not.
- Coordinate with the academic calendar — Avoid setting due dates on holidays or non-school days.
