I am the type to obsessively clear notifications. Unfortunately I have noticed that, as a student, I don't always have control of whether I am able to do that or not.
Last semester I took a course with a borderline senile professor that did not know how to operate Canvas. I'm sure he did his best, but we inevitably ended up with some oddities like the problem I am facing now. There is one (or maybe two) of his assignments that he never posted the score for, but I still got a notification of activity on the assignments at the time I turned them in.
No amount of clicking on the assignments from the Dashboard, from the course itself, or from the grades panel is fixing my issue. I ultimately chose at the end of last semester to ignore the notification in hopes that it would disappear as a new semester started and I deselected the course from my list of active courses. But alas, I am still plagued with this notification.
Included are the screenshots of my "New" Activity message and the two offending assignments (though I have clicked through all four of the grouped assignments, which have somehow merged all of my assignments from all of my classes into one).
Please tell me there is a way to remove this notification without having to go through the professor. I have one more year of school left and I genuinely do not know how I will cope with a constant notification lying to me, claiming that I have activity to be cleared when I don't.
