This Week's Faculty Question
Q: I want to assign students to project groups in a large class. How can I do this quickly in Quercus?
A: You can use a combination of the UT Advanced Group tool as well as the Groups function in Quercus to incorporate large group projects in your courses. Never heard of UT Advanced Group tools? See our guide on How do I use the UT Advanced Group tool to create project groups in large classes?
