Automatically apply grade for missing submissions not working as expected

[burkel1]

I have a teacher who "turned on" the Late Policy for missing assignments and it doesn't seem to be behaving the way we would expect.  Our division policy is that the lowest score a student can get is a 50.  So he had it set for 50%.  

The issue - it was marking the assignment with the 50% before the assignment was even due.   When I tried to replicate it... it seemed like, if you turn it off, and create the assignment and then turn it back on, it will put the 50% in.  If you have it just turned on though... It seems like it doesn't change it then.  

Anyone had issues with it marking an assignment before the assignment was due?  

Thanks

Lois

Hello @burkel1  - I've read your post and have not experienced what is described. Granted, I set the feature to assign a 0% for all assignments that are 'missing' / not turned in. But the feature has never assigned that 0% until the due date/ time has passed.
