override submission needed and give a grade

[reannehil]

Often, I have a student show me their work and then do not need to submit anything which I still give them a grade on. The only way for this assignment to be crossed off of their calendar is if they go in and submit something. Is it possible to have a grade given by a teacher override the submission needed so that the assignment is then crossed off of their calendar? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this idea, @reannehil . As it moves forward for broader discussion, you might want to add your comment to a related idea that seeks to put this control in the hands of the student:  Be able to cross out Completed Assignments on Cale...

I see this being beneficial in more than just removing it from the calendar. We've noticed that if a module requirement is set for an assignment to be submitted, it does not matter if the instructor gives the student a manual grade since the student still can't move on because the assignment has not been officially submitted. If an instructor grade counted as a submission, it would open up the following assignments, which would really help us.
