+
+#### Naming the assignment
+
+For an individual assignment, {% data variables.product.prodname_classroom %} names repositories by the repository prefix and the student's {% data variables.product.product_name %} username. By default, the repository prefix is the assignment title. For example, if you name an assignment "assignment-1" and the student's username on {% data variables.product.product_name %} is @octocat, the name of the assignment repository for @octocat will be `assignment-1-octocat`.

+
+{% data reusables.classroom.assignments-guide-assign-a-deadline %}
+
+#### Choosing a visibility for assignment repositories
+
+The repositories for an assignment can be public or private. If you use private repositories, only the student can see the feedback you provide. Under "Repository visibility," select a visibility.
+
+When you're done, click **Continue**. {% data variables.product.prodname_classroom %} will create the assignment and bring you to the assignment page.
