Understanding Assignment Types (Homework, Test, Quiz, Project)

Assignd lets you tag assignments with types like Homework, Quiz, Test, or Project. This helps keep your planner organized and lets you prioritize more effectively.

Common assignment types

  • Homework – Daily work, worksheets, practice problems, readings.

  • Quiz – Short assessments, sometimes not heavily weighted but still important.

  • Test/Exam – Major assessments that usually require more prep.

  • Project – Multi-step tasks like presentations, research projects, or group work.

  • Other/Task – Things like “bring in permission slip” or “print lab report.”

Why assignment types matter

  • You can filter your views (e.g., only see tests this month).

  • You can prioritize your day:

    • Big tests near the top

    • Small tasks later

  • If you track grades, knowing the type can help you remember how important each item is.

How to change the type

  1. Open the assignment.

  2. Look for the Type field.

  3. Choose a different type from the list.

  4. Save.

If you’re not sure what to pick, it’s better to choose something than leave it blank. You can always change it later.
