How do I assign FRQs to students?

Learn how to add Free Response Questions (FRQs) to student assignments.

Written by David Phelps

There are several ways to add FRQs to an assignment. Use whichever option fits how you prefer to find questions.

Option 1: Quickly assign a single FRQ.

  1. From the subject guide, select Free Response and then find the free-response question that you would like to assign.

  2. Next to the question title, click the vertical ellipses and select Assign.

  3. Assign the FRQ to your selected class or students.

Option 2: Create and assign custom assignment folders that include FRQs, as well as other types of questions.

  1. From the subject guide, find the free-response question that you would like to assign.

  2. Next to the question title, click the vertical ellipses and select Save to Folders.

  3. Either create a new folder or select an existing folder to add the FRQ.

[Pro-Tip]: FRQs may be added to folders with multiple choice questions as well.

Option 3: Use the Assignment Builder and search by standard.

  1. From the Assignment Builder, search by standard to find standards-aligned questions.

  2. Select the "Free Response" Question Type to filter for FRQs.

Option 4: Use the Assignment Builder and search by subject or topic.

  1. From the Assignment Builder, search by Subjects and Topics.

  2. Click the Filter Subjects search bar to search for a subject.

  3. Select the Free Response tab at the top to see all FRQs from the subject.

Note: When a student submits an FRQ, the response enters an awaiting-grading state rather than being scored automatically. You grade each response within Albert against the rubric criteria and add feedback. Students see their score and feedback once you release the grades.
