09-01-05.Note for submitting group assignment as a group or individual

Group assignment is submitted by groups made in the course. If all students in the course belong to any of the groups, there is no problem because each group submits assignment. However, you should be careful if there are students who do not belong to any group in the course.

A student who does not belong to any group is categorized as “No group” as a course participant, but in Group submission, “Default group” will be automatically assigned.

・On the list of course participants, students who do not belong to any group are displayed as “No groups.”
