Marking an assessment late, missing, or incomplete in the grade book affects the ability to take that assessment.

If a student fails to take an assessment within the timeframe allotted. The teacher can annotate that in the gradebook by using incomplete or late or missing. HOWEVER, if the teacher then extends that assessment (by a day or two) the assessment CANNOT be taken by the student UNTIL the teacher removes the annotation in the gradebook. The marking in the gradebook of late should NOT affect the ability of a students to take an extended assessment. Recommend that this be corrected so that marks in gradebook DO NOT affect the ability of the student to take an assessment. Otherwise it creates more work for teacher.

    @Angela Addison

    Thank you, I know the extend button has a bug, but what about when you mark an assessment Late in the gradebook...why is the student uable to take the assessment unless you remove the L?

    Hi @Josceline Reardon there is an open bug with the extend button that is in development now so should be resolved soon.

    Seems this is still now working as intended. I tested it on my test student and you can mark the assessment late, by adding an L in the gradebook, but you still have to extend the days and then remove the L for the student to be able to take the assessment.

    However, there is an issue with the Extend button as well. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. I put a case in a week or so ago about this.

    I just had a student attempt to make up an extended assessment with "Missing" checked and he was able to do so without any issues. The only thing that is strange is that an "asterisk * " still appears rather than "not committed" when the student has submitted their work. This does not make it immediately obvious that the student has completed the assignment.

    Hi there, we fixed this in yesterday's release. Can you confirm if you are still seeing it happen or if this was maybe just this entry got posted before you saw the release notes maybe? If it's still happening I definitely want to get that back into dev's hands. Thanks!

    This is a huge issue.

    Defeats the purpose of having labels such as "Late" or "missing"
