Enter assignments efficiently

Here are some basic tips:

  • We offer an editor (a mini word processor) that allows for spell-checking and many other formatting features.
  • Enter assignments for the week (or month) all at once. The site will display each assignment by date and future dates are highlighted.
  • Copy and paste instructions for projects. Parents and students can retrieve another copy without bothering you!
  • Work where you are most comfortable: home, school or library. Some teachers enter assignments during the evenings at home or in the school library during lunchtime.
  • Ask parents to help you to enter assignments.
  • Students may be able to take on the responsibility if you teach at the high school level. Note: Use caution when giving your User ID and password to others. They will gain your authorization level to enter assignments.

Stop repeating yourself

All teachers experience the routine of re-stating and re-writing assignments for students who are sick, traveling, participating in athletics, or simply are irresponsible. THIS IS TIME CONSUMING! Posting assignments on the Web ensures that students know exactly what is expected of them. Eliminate student-to-student miscommunication and excuses. yourhomework.com gives students a way to get homework directly from their teacher clearly and accurately. Spend your valuable time giving more meaningful assistance.

Stay organized

Assignments are dated so you can keep track of what you have assigned in an orderly format. Keep a print out handy for reference during class. Enter future assignments as well. Being organized always saves time.

Post for students without Internet access

Teachers can print out the homework listing and post it in the classroom. This allows students without any Internet access to take advantage of what is posted on-line.

Print to send home to sick student

Save time writing down missed assignments for students at home with extended illnesses. Print it out and send it home!
