So, like many schools, ours is experiencing a shortage of teachers and subs.  There is a member of my time who is out for an undetermined amount of time, so another member of the team and I were assigned half of her classes each - split down the middle.  We were granted access to the Canvas courses of the missing member.

Is there any way to assign things to just a chunk of students in a class OTHER than the group assignment function?  I tried that, not realizing one person was submitting for the group - which is needlessly complicated.  

I am hoping to avoid having to input all the students individually on every assignment.  Really, I want to send work to a group but make sure each student submits their own things.

Hope this makes sense.  Thanks for any input!
