# Courses and assignment use cases
This page will outline how to set up and manage courses and assignments for some common use cases
## ⬆️ Upload document
In using the upload box item in your course you can task your users with uploading a specific file type and manually review it before allowing them to progress with their assignment.
1. Open your course and select add item
2. Choose the upload box item type
3. Select the type of file you want your users to upload
4. Click the cog icon in the top right hand corner of the item
5. Select manual review (any users moderating the group taking the assignment will be notified by email when a file is ready for review)
1. If you have selected image as your file type, you can allow webcam in the cog menu so users can simply use their webcam to take a picture of themselves / their id
6. Save item
Add file upload item, including webcam
Synap can be used as a store of information as all uploaded files will be accessible via the assignment. Just click view on the assignment and then the View button on a user to see their progress and any files uploaded for that assignment. You can also download the files from here.
## 🧾 Certified assignments
On completion of an assignment you can provide your users with a digital certificate. This is emailed out to them. All you need to do is enable certificates on the assignment.
You may also want to add a manual review for the assignment as a whole if you need to review file uploads that form part of the assignment completion. This means that a reviewer will need to approve an assignment submission before it is completed. If you reject a submission the users will have the option to re-submit. You can set which group of users who should be reviewing the assignments on the Reviewers page of the assignment

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://synap.ac/docs/courses/courses-and-assignment-use-cases.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
