1. In the Homework Sets Editor, check the box next to the assignment you wish to clone.
2. Select “Create a new set named” and enter a name for your assignment. Note that spaces are not allowed.
3. Change “a new empty set” to “a duplicate of the first selected set” and click “Take Action!”
4. Be sure to change the due dates on your new assignment.
5. Note that your assignment will not be accessible to students until you assign it to them.
