- In some courses, you are asked to write essays in response to topics or to questions that do not have simple answers. These essay assignments are called open response assessments (ORA) because they have a flexible design, and can include various assessment options, including peer assessments and self assessments.
- In some ORA assignments, in addition to writing text responses, you can submit an image or other type of file. For information about uploading images or other files in your open response assessment, see Submit a file with an ORA response.
