In order for assignments to display in your Gradebook a Due Date must be assigned to each and every single item you wish to have scored for a grade. This will include assignments, quizzes, and any other submission you want to score.
To begin, navigate to the assignment you wish to set a due date for and select edit.
Scroll to the bottom where the assign to section is located. Choose the desired due date of this assignment. This action will have a two-fold effect.
The first is that it will make your assignment visible in the Gradebook View by inserting a new column of spaces to have scores entered.
Second, it will create a time stamp that will record any assignments turned in past that point so that you become aware of the exact degree of tardiness on a late assignment.
The display of an assignment submitted late shows in several different ways:
A) The students will see a view like this
B) Your Gradebook will display like this in blue
C) The SpeedGrader will display like this, also in blue. The number indicator will provide documentation for students and parents about how late an assignment was submitted.
It might also help facilitate a conversation with the student about their work habits.
