That works great for many students! Our situation is when we have students missing many assignments, but think they are passing due to it only showing the graded assignments. The percentage doesn't take into consideration the missing assignments, whether 1 or 10, that makes them have a much lower score. When we uncheck the box to show them a closer percentage, that is when the future assignments effect it adversely. 🐵

I think the program is functioning correctly as it is set up. I'm just hoping that in the future, there will be a way for students to see what their grade is for all missing and turned in assignments but only up to the present date, so the future assignments won't be incorporated into the calculation. 🐵 If they only turn in one assignment, but are missing 7 assignments and tests, and there are 4 upcoming assignments next month already entered, then there presently isn't a way for them to view a true grade percent, at least from what I have been able to determine. Any future changes or updates, may want to add the option "grade percentage up to present date" or perhaps "grade percentage for date range" and the future items could be excluded. Just thoughts making a good program even better! 🐵
Sincerely, Sandy

Do not include ungraded assignments with future due dates in the grade summary for students.
Here is an image showing our problem for the students. I have unchecked the box "Calculate based only on graded assignments." This student has 69% approximately for all homework assigned and either turned in, graded or not turned in. For Exams though, there is one coming up on November 3rd, and is the only exam (100 points), and it is giving a zero percent as if not completed but already assigned, then puts it in the weighted percent on the bottom which shows 48%. For this case, the student can look at the classwork to see actual grade, but for most, there are other tests that would be on the Exam line, as well as possible future assignments, that would change the Classwork line item percent. This is exactly the same on my computer, and the student's. It is adding into the calculations all future assignments from both student and linked observer platforms. Any ideas? I'm hoping setup config might give some options but I do not have that access or know if it is possible. Yet. 🐵 Thanks again! Sandy

Both on their computer and my own. When the students are logged in and checking grades, I have them uncheck the box to view more accurately where they stand. On my computer, I am not a teacher, but an assistant. I am an observer linked with dozens of different teachers' classes and our students. When I unclick the box as I'm viewing a particular student's course grades, the same thing happens. Perhaps it is different in this capacity then either a teacher or a student, but I've only noticed minor percentage differences (1 or 2%) on one occasion and thought it was due to one assignment being graded/turned in since printing their grades and later that day seeing them in person. I will do further research into this. Thank you!

Hi Stefanie! For instance, when a student has three assignments in their class, and they've only done one, but with a nice 90% score, it shows a 90% grade for the class with the box checked. When I uncheck the box for them, it calculates the other two assignments into the percent, whether the date is passed or upcoming, dropping them into the 20% range (it all varies based on being assessments or assignments and the weights given). I am hoping for a modification, or perhaps another check box option, that will only calculate their current grade up to today's date, whether the assignments are missing or turned in and graded. Hope this helps! 🐵 Sandy

When students check their grades, it defaults to the box being checked labeled "Calculate based only on graded assignments." When they remove the check from the box, it shows a better idea of what their percentage grade is, based on their missing assignments as well. What is misleading though, is that often teachers will also put in upcoming assignments with future dates, which skews the percentage downward. Neither is an especially accurate grade for the student to view. It would be very helpful if the program would incorporate this option to view all assignments only up to the current date when calculating percentage. This way, all future assignments would not be bringing down their grade, and it would truly be accurate based on what was turned in (and graded).
Thank you so much! Sandy
