Sorting Assignments in the Drop-box
The assignment drop-box in WebCT assumes that one person will be doing all of the grading. You can’t sort the assignments, for example.
On the WebCT user forums, this thread asks that very question. About half-way down, someone describes how to use the group tool and assignment tool to sort assignments according to tutorial.
Alternatively, you can download all the assignments at once, and then “throw out” the ones that you are not responsible for grading. That is a simple manual way of managing the drop-box. This will not work as well for extremely large classes, but is viable for classes with less than 60 students. You will still have to browse for individual users when uploading the assessments. Use the “assigned to” column title to sort alphabetically.
