Assignments that don't count for grade but need to be listed as completed or not

Bernadette Shilliam

Does anyone have a good way that their teachers have devised of showing assignments as completed that aren't necessarily going to be a part of the cumulative grade? I have a few teachers who would like to be able to list items as due, say, a practice test with no grade, but just have the opportunity to check it off as submitted. Right now the teachers are talking about just making the assignment worth zero points, but it would be really nice to be able to utilize that submitted button!

If the class uses the percentages calculation method, the teacher can create an Assignment type that has no weight for these assignments. It will allow assignments to work in the usual ways (appears on the Assignments calendar, can be marked as submitted, etc) without entering into the grade calculation. The Assignment type can be named something to indicate its status (Practice Assignment or Ungraded Assignment, etc).
