Completing an Assignment

Universities, workforce development entities, non-profits, and other organizations utilize assignments to provide specific questions or lessons to their users.

Keep in mind that assignments are a little bit different from Practice Sets. You may have a due date, time, and take limits, or specific review criteria.

Assignment videos are now stored in My Videos along with your Practice videos.

Start Your Assignment (from an email)

You may be invited directly to an assignment via email. Click the link in your email to directly access your assignment. If you are new to Big Interview, you'll be prompted to set up a password. If you received a code, skip to the next step.

Complete Interview Questions/Lessons

Your assignment may contain Interview Questions, Lessons, or both. To complete Lessons, simply watch the entire lesson. Look for the green checkmark to indicate completion. To complete interview questions, click on Start Recording. You must answer all the questions and watch all lessons in an Assignment in order to submit.

Take Limits

Your assignment may have "take limits" (a maximum number of recording attempts). If you run out of takes, you can ask your instructor to reset them. It is up to the instructor’s discretion to allow additional takes.

Review and Submit Assignment

Once you have completed all the questions/lessons in the assignment, click Submit Assignment. You'll have an opportunity to review your videos and re-record if applicable. Click on Submit final answers when you are ready to submit.

Assignments are a feature on the Big Interview Platform. The Assignments tab is in the top menu within Big Interview.

If you would like to share your assignment videos, external sharing must be enabled for you to do so.

From Assignments, click on Submitted and then Share. If you don't see the Share button, external sharing has not been enabled by your instructor and you will not be able to share your videos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't I see my assignment?
If you don't see your assignment after signing in, don't worry—it usually means you haven't been assigned it yet.
Assignments do not automatically appear when you log in. Your instructor or career center must assign the activity using one of these methods:

An email invitation sent to your email address
An assignment code provided by your instructor

If you believe you should already have access, contact your instructor or career services office to confirm:

The assignment has been assigned to you.
You have the correct assignment code or invitation.
You're signed in with the correct email address.
