Word for "receiving an assignment"

Within a group, there is one leader and a number of non-leader workers. There is a list of published and understood tasks. Non-leaders take on tasks and are accountable to complete them, but the leader does not assign the tasks; the leader is responsible for making sure all tasks are assumed and may assign tasks if no one assumes a particular task.

What words can be used in place of the bold assumed ? I came up with "assume responsibility"

• single-word-requests
• phrase-requests
• terminology

• Try using accepted . –  Davo Feb 10, 2017 at 17:59
• So are the workers expected to complete the tasks voluntarily? And the leader only assigns if nobody voluntarily completes a task? –  Hank Feb 10, 2017 at 18:00
• Maybe adopted . –  Barmar Feb 10, 2017 at 19:27
• @Hank not to complete the tasks, but to take on the task and be responsible for the completion. –  jqning Feb 13, 2017 at 16:42

You may be able to just use taken .

... the leader is responsible for making sure all tasks are  taken  and may assign tasks if ...

Adj . 2 . taken  - having possession gained especially by force or effort

If a worker undertakes a task, the worker "assumes responsibility" for it.

Definition of undertake - 1. To deliberately begin to do (something): undertake a task. 2. To pledge or commit oneself (to do something): undertake to care for an elderly relative.

As a label for the assignment, we can say the task is undertaken .

A good word for this may be Delegated

Delegate via Oxford

Entrust (a task or responsibility) to another person, typically one who is less senior than oneself: "She must delegate duties so as to free herself for more important tasks", "The power delegated to him must never be misused" [with object and infinitive] Send or authorize (someone) to do something as a representative: "Edward was delegated to meet new arrivals"

The idea is you delegate work to others, or work has been delegated to you . Bosses ensure that all tasks have been appropriately delegated .

• But in his context, the tasks aren't delegated unless they're not taken by the group members. He wants the word for how the members take the tasks spontaneously. –  Barmar Feb 10, 2017 at 19:26

You've Received an Assignment - What's Next?

Features and support to deliver high quality work.

So…. the hard part is over. You’ve won an assignment. Congrats! You may be wondering where to go next, and with the many different features we provide, this can be overwhelming. We thought we might walk you through the different features you can use to ensure a job well done on the first try.

Step 1: Assignment Details

The assignment details are the number one place you should go when receiving an assignment. Getting caught with a specific detail or missed point after putting together a piece is never a fun endeavor. Above anything else, first review what you will be working on. 

Step 2: Message the Producer

You might have questions after reviewing the assignment details. Please ask these in advance via the messaging board, you’ll be happy you did. If you don’t have any questions, we still encourage you to get a dialogue started between yourself and the Producer. This will show the team that you are engaged and ready to do a great job.

S tep 3: Check for Files

Sometimes there will be files that clients attach to give you a better grasp on what they are looking for. These could be anything from example articles to go off, their company website, or other potential keywords to use. Missing a file might result in revisions as well as slowed payment.

Step 4: Provide an Outline

It is always a good idea to put together your thoughts in the white space provided. Not only will this give you reference when you leave and come back to the piece, but it will also give the client a sense of clarity, knowing you have a plan in place to accomplish the given task. 

Step 5: Get to Work! 

Once you’ve got everything you need to begin the assignment, the only thing left to do is deliver! Follow this process to get the project done right the first time. You’ll be happy you did. 

If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out to us in the chat below - we’d be glad to help.

Student View: Receiving an Assignment

This video provides a visual walk-through of the following information:

This document will walk through what it looks like for a student to receive an assignment that has been submitted and graded on Moodle.

When the student first logs in, they will be directed to the course overview page, which lists all the Moodle pages for the courses the student is taking. The student will click on the course title for your course. 

Then, the student will click on the assignment that they would like to view. In this example, the assignment title is An Assignment.

The student will then see the page for this specific assignment. At the top of the page, the student will see the section with the assignment title, which gives an overview of the assignment. A little further down, the student will see the “Submission status” section, which lists the submission status, the grading status, the due date, the time remaining for the submission, and the last modification.
