Here, into two different ways the process is divided, you can stop after first step but we would suggest to follow the other step as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-creating-assignment-with-google-forms\">1. Creating Assignment with Google Forms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To prepare google forms for assignments, it is important to start with setting up google forms for both ways. However, this default step is for all those who don\u2019t use google classroom or have experience with assigning the google classroom forms quiz. You just have to create it in google forms and send that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>To start with, we have to set up a google form. To start with, go to Google Forms through G-DRIVE (you must have a google account, if not then create one), or you can navigate it through a web browser \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/u\/0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Select a \u2018blank form\u2019, \u2018blank quiz\u2019, or select from an education template. Then add the title and description to the form for assignment submission.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Create the form by smartly choosing the question types. Google form has different questions to choose from like MCQs, short &amp; long sentences, checkboxes, tick-box grid, and even a file upload option.&nbsp;<\/li><li>To make the assignment more interesting we can even import videos &amp; images.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2058\" height=\"1272\" data-id=\"1262\"  src=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/assignments-gforms-gforms-questions.png.webp\" alt=\"assignments with gforms-gforms-questions\" class=\"wp-image-1262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/assignments-gforms-gforms-questions.png.webp 2058w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/assignments-gforms-gforms-questions-300x185.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/assignments-gforms-gforms-questions-1024x633.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/assignments-gforms-gforms-questions-768x475.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/assignments-gforms-gforms-questions-1536x949.png.webp 1536w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/assignments-gforms-gforms-questions-2048x1266.png.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2058px) 100vw, 2058px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Further, we have the option to customize Google Forms for assignments. Firstly, configure basic settings under the <strong>\u2018Settings\u2019<\/strong> tab. Besides, if you want to make the form a quiz (enable the quiz option), if you\u2019ve not already chosen a blank quiz. You can also configure further options like \u2018point values\u2019, \u2018missed questions\u2019 \u2018show progress bar\u2019, etc<\/li><li>Under every question, add answer feedback (if you have made the form into a quiz), you can also add individual point values to all the questions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-id=\"992\"  src=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/fillable-forms-google-forms-settings.png.webp\" alt=\"assignment with google forms-settings\" class=\"wp-image-992\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Customize the form theme under the same option at the top bar.

Go to the <strong>Responses<\/strong> tab, click on the excel sheet icon, and the google form will be connected with a spreadsheet.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Once we have created the form and everything in it.
