For assessments which contain multiple choice questions – but optionally also some short answer questions, or questions where students need to submit a scanned copy of handwritten work. Similar to a Blackboard Test. - Programming Assignment
For assessments submitting code.
If appropriate, you can copy assignments both within a course, and from one course to another – see Duplicating an Assignment.
