Our school has been using Schoology for years, and I have always wanted a feature that automatically shows in the Gradebook if an assignment was submitted late.
As it is now, I have to open up each assignment and write down the names of students who submitted things late. It would be so much better if there was just a dot on the Gradebook page or the mark box was a different colour - or something that showed that assignment was late. Then I could just look quickly across the Gradebook page to determine how many assignments for each student were not submitted on time.
I was very excited to see the Late feature in the Mark With An Exception box because I thought that I could just enter that data for myself, but I see that when you hit that button that the grade actually disappears and it looks more like I am just granting permission for a student to submit something late.
We have teachers who have just added a criteria to their rubric for work being submitted on time or late. They get a 1 if it is on time and a 0 if it is late. However, that then makes the assignment out of 1 more mark than needed, and includes Work Habits in the assignment grade - something we never do at our school. They can check the criteria in Mastery and easily see how many assignments are late, but it impacts the grade in ways that we do not agree with.
Anyway, I would think that there could be a simple feature built into Schoology that would show on the Gradebook page if an assignment was submitted on time or late.
Thank you.
