This article is for faculty and staff who wish to learn more about Group assignments in HuskyCT Ultra Course View.

> ℹ️ The section assumes you have already created groups and enrolled your students in the appropriate group in HuskyCT.

# Overview

Instructors can use Group assignments to support collaborative learning and provide feedback and grading to a group of students, rather than individually.

- With Group assignments, **one student per group** makes a submission on behalf of the group.
- After submission, all group members will be recorded as having submitted
- If a Group assignment allows multiple attempts, a different group member can submit for a subsequent attempt.
- If one group member has the assignment open on their computer, other members will **not** be able to open the assignment at the same time. They will need to request control.

In assessing the submission, the feedback and score input by the instructor, automatically populates to all members of the group. 

- Instructors can adjust the grade for individual students if needed.
