Assignment Questions & Solutions

[Donna]

I am baffled by the question/solution requirment on assignments. I've even chatted with support about this. I am writing an assignment that requires the student to practice something, but there is no question that needs to be answered -- it is a skill to be practiced. In addition, I have looked and looked for an example of an assignment with a question attached to it on the official free how-to-make-a-Udemy-courses and I can't even find an example of what this looks like. Has anybody seen an example of what this is?

Hi Donna - if it is a practice activity then simply state that in the question area - for example I get people to draw, doodle, photograph their sacred altars they have made - so the question becomes post a photo or picture representation of your sacred altar. Answer: well done as when we express our love and share it within our sacred community we all grow. or words to that effect. Another is I teach them how to read the aura of a leaf and their hand so the Q: is Please spend some time preparing with the video and read —— blah blah A: Well done, with practice we can all read auras, don’t be harsh on yourself if you struggle at first - relax - have fun and try again! Blah blah - you get the picture.

Q: From the notes provided please make this origami bird and put a photo up of your work.

A: Thank you for sharing your origami bird with us all. 

Think laterally not literally! Good luck - I use assignments extensively my student tribe love them and engage deeply with them. For me it has meant better engagement, more reviews etc.

Those are great examples -- I can do that!  Thank you.

Thank you so much for the question, Donna... it was EXACTLY what was on my mind as well!

Thank you, Sharon, that's just what I needed. 

Sometimes there just are no right answers. ;).
