Improve Gradebook settings options

Status:

Theme Overview

Instructors want more options in Gradebook settings to grade more efficiently and optimize their workflows.

What value could this provide to users?

Instructors can remove assignments that don't count toward final grades from the Gradebook and student grade page
Instructors can set a "grade release date" and other grade policies at the assignment level
Instructors can customize Gradebook Status (Missing, Late, Excused, etc.)
Allow option to have the "missing" label only apply to required assignments
Instructors can cap grades on additional assignment attempts
Save instructors additional time by scaling scores automatically and calculating a class average
The "hide grades" functionality is improved so it's clearer when grades are hidden
