Preventing an Assignment from being Dropped

Sometimes instructors are willing to drop any assignments within an assignment group, but other times, they find an assignment highly valuable and therefore wish that any other assignment grade be dropped except that of the valuable assignment. The "Never Drop an Assignment" feature is very useful for such situations and will be explained below.

1. Go to Assignments (Click on the "Assignment" tab on the course navigation located on the left side of the screen.)
2. In the assignment group, select the settings icon (reference image below).
3. Select the "Edit" button (reference image below).
   
4. Under the "Never Drop" option located on the bottom of the screen, click on the "+ Add an assignment" link.
   
5. Select the assignment from the down bar.
6. Click on the blue "Save" button located on the bottom right corner of the box when finished.
