[ARCHIVED] New Quizzes on the to do list AND unchecked on SpeedGrader

[mfernandez]

I accidentally found a way to cause New Quizzes to show up on my dashboard AND showing that they need to be graded in Speed Grader. If you go to the grades tab, delete the zero for a student's score and hit enter. That will cause a little piece of paper (icon) to replace the zero. After you do that for students' quizzes, you will see them show up on your to do list and you will also have a small orange dot next to their names instead of a green check. Has anyone else tried this?

Hi @mfernandez 

That is actually intended behavior. By removing the student's grade, you are marking the submission as ungraded. 

Ungraded submissions show up with a paper icon and will display on your to-do as there is a submission that needs to be graded. 

Thank you.

Why would I have to go in and remove a 0 that Canvas says my student received on a test or quiz that hasn't been graded?  In classic quizzes, this was not an issue. The student took a quiz I needed to grade and it automatically showed up on my dashboard to show me I needed to grade something. 

If I have a student who has missed a test day and goes in to take the test, there is NO way of my knowing that it's there other than remembering to go back and grade a makeup test. 

This is NOT solved. There is still an issue with these tests and quizzes NOT showing up on the teacher's dashboard

Completely agree.

This is not an adequate solve. One purpose of the LMS is to streamline the grading process. Not getting notified through Canvas (not email) is a major flaw with new quizzes. It should not be an additional tax on teachers to monitor student submissions for 0s and determine whether those just need to be graded.

Also consider, how can we tell a quiz needs to be graded if there is a combination of auto-graded questions and teacher graded questions?
