Input letters such as M or X that do or do not reflect 0's in the grade book respectively

Some teachers would like to input an M into their grade book to denote missing assignments and have it calculate as a 0. Likewise, they would like to input an X to denote an exempt assignment and waive the grade altogether.

    Hi There!

    Over the summer we did add shortcut keys and visual icons to make the gradebook a bit more user friendly. So now a Teacher can type in an M to mark an assignment as missing or X to mark them Exempt. The teacher would still need to input a 0 if they really want to give the student a 0 grade, but I'm thinking our updates satisfy this request. 

    Please reply if there is more we need to consider for this request to be fulfilled.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    The assignment shows past due in the student portal even though they were marked Exempt
