Rather than searching for and assigning specific exercises, assigning a Points Target allows you to indicate the number of points (=peanuts) you would like your students to earn during a specific time frame, giving them the freedom to pick what they'd like to work on.
Here's how to do it:
1. Navigate to the Points Target feature clicking on the tile on your homepage.

Student's Points Target not showing as completed?
- To complete a Points Target, students must earn their peanuts (points) between the start and due dates given for the assignment. Peanuts earned outside of this period will not count towards their points target assignment.
- Only peanuts earned from the exercise types selected when you set the Points Target will count towards the completion of a student's assignment. Your students will be able to see which exercise types are applicable to their Points Target by visiting their Assignments log.
