Tool Search: Assessments
The Course Master Assessments tool lists the names of the assessments that are marked as teacher-scored tests and read-only tests. A teacher-scored text is determined by the Test Structure. Tests display as Teacher-scored or Read-only test.
In order for a test to be selected and assigned to a Course Master, the test must be created in the Test Setup structure.

Course Master Aligned Courses and Assessments
When the course is linked to a Course Master, and editing of Assessments is marked as Locked on the Course Catalog, a lock icon displays next to the test when viewing Assessment aligned to a Course. Any changes to these locked tests must be done 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 Assessment or any other Course Master tab require a push process to the courses. This option is available on the Course Master Info tab.
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 that needs to be added can be without error.

Teacher-scored assessments are preceded with an asterisk.

Teacher-scored assessments cannot be copied forward, as they require a start and end date.

The Standard column in the Assessment Alignment editor will display a standard if the test has been aligned to a standard 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 with an asterisk.
