Is there a way to use complete/incomplete for distance learning and set up your grade book so if students who don't submit online work automatically get a zero? I'd like to see who is doing partial work which I score as incomplete verses a zero for never turned in. I don't have grades for kids with dashes showing up and they need to see a grade.
you could set the default grade to zero after entering the complete/incomplete. Only the dashed entries will change to 0.
Sorry that didn’t work. You could make a grading comment to keep track.
So after some playing around I found that if the assignment is supposed to be submitted to canvas that the students grade book will say the assignment is missing and your gradebook can display a status color that shows the assignment as missing.
