1 This Navigation Guide provides information to assist you in supporting students submitting their General Education Signature Assignments. You are requested to: 1. Provide the Signature Assignment Student Navigation Guide to your students. 2. Provide students with two electronic versions of your assignment question/prompt, one for each Learning Goal covered by your Signature Assignment(s). Students will enter their responses immediately after/below the question/prompt inside the file you provide them. (There is no submission form other than the file containing the assignment/prompt that you provide students.) 3. Inform students that their signature assignments must be submitted to Tk20 by a due date you determine and no later than the last day of finals week. You may assign a deadline any time prior to 11:55pm on the last day of finals week. 4. Require your students to submit their signature assignments exclusively via Tk20 to help ensure that all students upload their files to Tk20. Assignments should be uploaded without any identifying information such as student name, professor name, or course name. When you log into Tk20 as an instructor, you will be able to see who submitted each assignment and retrieve the assignments for grading purposes; however, the assessment team will not have access to any identifying information. 5. Monitor compliance and follow up with students to ensure all students submit their assignments. 6. If you wish, download your students assignments for grading purposes (and save them with filenames that include student names). Getting Started Prepare the Blank Signature Assignment File(s) 1. There is no Submission Form. For each of the two University-wide student learning goals covered in your course, provide students with a Word file that includes the assignment question/prompt. 2. Instruct students to use this file when they prepare their responses. They should insert their responses after/under the question/prompt. Students will need to submit their assignment once for each learning goal covered in your course; or, if your course has two signature assignments, one for each learning goal, then they will need to submit the correct assignment for each learning goal.
