Tool Search: Assessments
The Assessments tool allows users to assign an assessment to a Course Master. Tests display as Teacher-scored or Read-only test.
Review the Course Masters article for more information on best practices and workflow.
For a test to be selected and assigned to a Course Master, it must be created in the Test Setup structure.
Course Master Assessments
There may be several assessments to choose from. The Test dropdown list is searchable; enter the start of a test name or a part of one, and matching results are displayed.

Course Master Aligned Courses and Assessments
When the course is linked to a Course Master and the editing of Assessments is marked as Locked in the Course Catalog, a lock icon displays next to the test when viewing an Assessment aligned to a Course. Any changes to these locked tests must be made on the Course Master.

Assign an Assessment to a Course Master
- Select the New icon. An Assessment Alignment Detail editor displays.
- Type in the Test dropdown field to find the test to assign to the course. Or, scroll through the list of tests available.
- Determine if the test should follow the course as it moves forward into future calendars. If yes, mark the Copies Forward checkbox.
- When finished, click the Save icon.
The test displays in the Assessment Alignment Editor.
Any changes made to the Assessment or any other Course Master tab require a push process to the courses. This option is available on the Course Master Information tool.
Assessments cannot be added more than once, but multiple assessments may be added for any Course Master. For example, a teacher-scored test named Reading - Teacher Scored is selected and added. The user cannot add the Reading - Teacher Scored test again. But any other test that hasn't been added yet can be added without error.
Assign a Teacher-Scored Assessment to a Course Master
Teacher-scored assessments are preceded by an asterisk.
- Click the New icon. An Assessment Alignment Detail editor displays.
- Type in the Test dropdown field to find the test to assign to the course. Or, scroll through the list of tests available.
- Click the Save icon.
Teacher-scored assessments cannot be copied forward, as they require a start and end date.
Standards Aligned to a Course Master
The Standard column in the Assessment Alignment editor displays a standard if the test has been aligned to one in the Standards Bank (as part of aligning assessments with assignments). Only one teacher-scored test is allowed per course. Teacher-scored assessments are preceded by an asterisk.
