Self-activated assessments in some courses
"new releases for both Introduction to IoT and Introduction to the Internet of Everything courses (in all languages) which include enhancements based on instructor feedback to automatically activate assessments and course completion, minimizing instructor efforts."
Question: May I "deactivate" this new (useless) feature and be again the one who decides when my students should take exams?

Thank you for the feedback. Self-paced courses, such as Introduction to Technology will have assessments automatically activated. These assessments are exactly the same ones that are available on the courses on NetAcad.com, i.e. the answers are already available to the students. Because of this the decision was based on instructor feedback to automatically activate assessments and course completion, thus minimizing instructor efforts.
Instructors who want to control the assessment timeline in their classrooms always have the ability to un-publish these assessments, edit the assignments to have due dates or create specific dates for students to take the assessment. In addition Instructors can create their own quizzes.
