Your Assignments page is your to-do list for Intertwined. It shows the work your teacher has assigned, when each piece is due, and whether you've finished it. This article explains how to read the page, how to open your work, and how each kind of assignment gets checked off.
Open your assignments
In the menu on the left, open Curriculum and choose Assignments.
The line under the Assignments title sums things up: how many assignments there are in total, how many are due soon, how many are overdue, and how many you've completed.
Assignments appear on the date your teacher publishes them, so new work can show up at any time. Your teacher can assign work to the whole class, to a group, or to you alone, so your list may not match a friend's exactly.
Read the list
The page opens on the list view. Each row is one assignment, with these columns:
Class: the class the work is for.
Assignment: the name of the work, with a small tag that says what kind it is, like Section, Quiz, Budget sim, Arcade game or Twine Town checkpoint.
Published: when your teacher posted it.
Due date: when it's due, in your own time zone.
Status: where it stands.
There are four statuses:
Upcoming: not done yet, and due more than two days from now (or no due date).
Due soon: not done yet, and due within the next two days.
Overdue: not done, and the due date has passed.
Completed: you've finished it.
On a phone, the list is wider than the screen. Swipe it sideways to see the due date and status.
Filter and search
The buttons above the list narrow down what you see:
Upcoming (where the page starts) shows everything still to do that isn't overdue, including work that's due soon.
Overdue shows work that's past its due date.
Completed shows what you've finished.
All shows everything.
The search box, "Search by class or section...", finds assignments by class name or section name. Next to the filters you'll see a count like "4 of 12 shown", so you always know when a filter is hiding something.
Use the calendar
Click Calendar to see the same assignments on a month calendar, each on its due date. The colors match the statuses. Use the arrows to change months, and click Today to jump back to this month. Click any assignment on the calendar to open it. Click List to go back to the list.
Open an assignment
Click the assignment's name. Where it takes you depends on the kind of work:
A Section or Reading opens the first lesson of that section.
A Quiz opens that section quiz.
A simulator opens that simulator.
An Arcade game opens that game.
A Calculator, Glossary or Financial news assignment opens that page.
A Twine Town checkpoint opens Twine Town.
If the name isn't a link and you see "Your teacher hasn't opened this yet" when you hold your pointer over it, the section is still locked. It becomes a link once your teacher opens it.
How assignments get checked off
Some assignments check themselves off. Others need you to click a button. Here's which is which.
These check themselves off
Section: when you've finished every lesson in the section and its quiz.
Reading: when you've finished every lesson in the section. The quiz doesn't count for a Reading.
Quiz: when you finish the quiz.
Arcade game: open it from your Assignments page, then play for about three minutes or finish a round. You'll see a message that it was marked complete.
Twine Town checkpoint: when your town reaches the goal.
These need you to click Mark done
Simulator, calculator, glossary and news assignments have a Mark done button in the Status column. When you've finished the work:
Come back to Assignments.
Click Mark done next to the assignment. It says "Saving…" for a moment.
The status changes to Completed.
Only click Mark done once you've really finished. Your teacher can see what you did in the simulator, as well as the check mark.
Tips
Check the Due soon count every time you log in. It's the quickest way to see what needs you first.
Overdue work still counts. You can finish it any time, and it will move to Completed. Your Reports page shows whether it was done on time or late.
Finished a section but it still isn't Completed? Make sure you finished the section quiz too.
Your dashboard also shows what's coming up. See Your student dashboard.
Common questions
I did the work. Why does it still say it's not done?
For a Section, check that you finished every lesson and the quiz. For a Reading, check every lesson. For simulators, calculators, the glossary and news, click Mark done. If it still looks wrong, see My progress or quiz didn't save.
I clicked Mark done by mistake. Can I undo it?
There's no undo button. Go ahead and do the work, and let your teacher know what happened.
Why can't I find an assignment my friend has?
Your teacher may have assigned it to a group or to certain students, or it may not be published yet. If you think it should be on your list, ask your teacher. I don't see my class, course, or assignment has more ideas.
The page says "No assignments yet." Is something wrong?
Probably not. It means your teacher hasn't published any assignments for you yet. When they do, they'll appear here.
The page says "Failed to load assignments. Please try again later."
Refresh the page. If it keeps happening, check your internet connection, then tell your teacher.
