To-Do List
The To-Do List shows all activities with due dates coming up within seven days or past a due date and can be found on the Buzz Home page and the Course homepage.
TIP: The to-do list is generated by either your teacher (ranged course) or by the system based on your start and end date and number of activities in the course (continuous course).
WARNING: Verify with your teacher if your due dates are soft (flexible) or hard (no late submissions).
IMPORTANT: Graded items from the To-Do List should only be completed after you have completed the course content leading up to the assessment. Learning objects like the Read It will help you prepare for your Assess It.

What is the To-Do List?
The To-Do List is a reminder for students to see when graded Assess Its are due.
TIP: The To-Do list is generated by your start and end dates and number of activities in the course. These are suggested due dates for graded assessments only. You are not penalized for turning in assessments after the due date.
There are two places the student can view the To-Do List:
- Buzz Home page
- Course Home page
WARNING: The To-Do List does not include any other lesson content. You will want to complete all lesson content occurring before the graded assessment.
NOTE: It will not only show what Assess Its are upcoming but also ones that are past due.
How To Use the To-Do List
Review your To-Do List to stay on track with Assess It goal dates. If you navigate to an Assess It from the To-Do List, it is important you have completed the content activities to prepare for the graded Assess It.
In the example below, the To-Do List shows the upcoming graded Identifying Collective Nouns - Assess It.
Navigating to the course Activities, you will notice there are three learning objects prior to the Assess It:
- Identifying Collective Nouns - Teach It
- Identifying Collective Nouns - Read It
- Identifying Collective Nouns - Practice It
Completing them will help you prepare for the Assess It.
TIP: You will want to work on all parts of the lesson before completing the Assess It.
NOTE: The To-Do list should not be used to navigate the course content. To navigate through your course, make sure you use Activities.
