Some of the assignments on Schoology have a setting where you may make multiple completion attempts. When you have a writing assignment, do you have to do all 5 (whatever the number of attempts it provides) or you can do 1 attempt?

Completing the assignment on the first submission is fine. Just make sure that it meets all of the guidelines that are provided in the instructions.

Multiple attempts are provided in the event that you don't quite have time to complete the assignment you may go back and reopen and complete.

Remember that the only assignment that is open once and MUST be completed is the Smartie Prep daily quiz.
