As the year begins winding down, now is a great time to review any outstanding learning assignments and make a plan for completing them before year-end deadlines.
Every year, many employees wait until the final weeks of the year to complete required learning. While the assignments themselves are typically straightforward, rushing to complete multiple courses at the last minute can lead to avoidable frustration, missed instructions, and support requests during one of the busiest times of the year.
Taking a few minutes now to review your assignments can help ensure a smoother experience later.
Not All Assignments Work the Same
Most learning assignments in Percipio automatically record course completion once all requirements have been met. However, some activities may include external resources, videos, documents, or learning experiences that require additional action from the learner.
One example is the Phishing Awareness: Understanding and Preventing Attacks Quiz. This assignment links to a Google Jigsaw learning activity that is completed outside of Percipio. After completing the activity, learners must return to Percipio and manually mark the assignment as complete.
Instructions are provided within the course, but it’s easy to overlook important details when moving quickly through an assignment.
Before closing any course, take a moment to review completion instructions and verify that your progress has been recorded correctly.
Quick Tips for Success
- Review outstanding assignments early.
- Schedule time throughout the year rather than waiting until December.
- Read course instructions carefully, particularly when a course links to an external resource.
- Confirm that completed assignments are reflected in your learning transcript.
- Visit the Percipio Help resources if you encounter questions or technical issues.
Planning Ahead Pays Off
Learning assignments are designed to support compliance, professional development, and workplace success. By checking your progress now and paying attention to assignment instructions along the way, you can avoid year-end surprises and focus on learning rather than troubleshooting.
