How do we calculate the data?
Discover the specifics of how we define terms in the Assignments report.
Missed turn-in: assignments in your selected date range that have not been submitted by the due date, and the due date has passed. Assignments that have been returned for revision are considered missing. Assignments that have been returned are not considered missing.
Late turn-in: assignments which were submitted after the due date has passed. This data is based on the latest submission; for example an assignment that was turned in on time, then returned for revision and resubmitted past the due date, will be considered late.
Average Grade: Based on the graded assignments in your selected time frame. This is calculated as points received divided by points available.
