The assignments feature offers instructors a thorough method for students to apply the knowledge and skills they've acquired in the course. Instructors can design a variety of questions for students to answer on course concepts. Additionally, instructors can upload instructions and solutions in video format as often as they like and provide personalized feedback on the assignments submitted by each student.
Following completion of their assignments, students can compare their work with the instructor's solutions.
