Why is the Instructor PIN “recommended” but the Department PIN only “optional”?
The saving of a MMS file requires that at least one or both of the Instructor PIN or Department PIN be set. Some instructors have department adminsitrators do part or all of the set-up, maintenance and final grade submissions of their MMS files. By having the flexibility of Instructor and/or Department PIN access allows the instructor and department to keep their respective PINs confidential, and still both work with the files when they are sent back and forth between each other.
