[ARCHIVED] Canvas assigning grades on its own

Can anyone tell me why Canvas is recording grades for assignments that I have not begun to grade?  And assigning full credit to everyone who did not submit?  I have spent hours trying to figure this out and am nowhere near understanding why.

Thank you, Marybeth

Hello  @mayella ‌, do you have a due date set and then a late policy in place?  I have attached directions on where to look for this.  The default if it is turned on is to award 100% to non-submitted assignments.  I always have people change this to 0% which makes more sense to me.  This would give you the result it sounds like you are experiencing.  

How do I apply a Late Submission policy in the Gradebook? 

Hope this helps!
