Assignments

Write the prompt, attach a rubric, set the rules. Students see the same shape of assignment every time.

Authoring an assignment

1
Open the course
Click Assignments → New.
2
Title & prompt
Write the prompt the way you'd write it on paper. Markdown is supported. Add attachments students need to read.
3
Submission type
Pick text, files, or both. For files, you can restrict types (PDF only, etc.) and per-file size limits.
4
Due date & visibility
Pick a due date, an optional cutoff (after which submissions lock), and whether the assignment is visible immediately or scheduled for later.
5
Attach a rubric
Build a rubric inline, or paste one in. See Rubrics below.
6
Publish
Click Publish and the whole roster gets notified. Save as draft if you're still polishing.

Rubrics

Rubrics are criteria + point values. SetFlow supports holistic rubrics (one score) or analytic rubrics (multiple criteria). Once attached, the rubric appears in the student's submission view and inside SpeedGrader for grading.

Tip

Don't want to write the rubric? Open Tori for Educators and ask, e.g., “100-point rubric for a 5-page persuasive essay, 4 criteria, with descriptors at 4 levels.” Paste the result back into the rubric editor.

AI pre-review for students

Pre-review lets students get Tori's read on their draft before they submit. It's opt-in per assignment. When you turn it on, Tori gives the student a short paragraph of feedback (clarity, structure, missing pieces) — never a rewrite, never the answer.

Note

Pre-review is metered against the student's daily Tori budget. Heavy use during a finals push is uncommon but possible — see Limits & fair use.

Late policy

Each assignment has a configurable late policy:

Open — accept late submissions, flag them as late, no auto-deduction.
Penalty — auto-deduct N points or N% per day late.
Cutoff — lock submissions at a hard date.

Reusing assignments

Open any past assignment and click Duplicate. The prompt, rubric, attachments, and policies copy over; you set the new course and dates. Useful for the same class next semester or the same course taught in parallel sections.
