The assessments page shows you a list of all of the assessments that have been assigned by your teachers or administrators. It gives you all the details you'll need to keep track of your assessments and graded work.
You can open the assigned assessment page by clicking on the assessments module (protractor symbol) on the left.
You can also get to your assigned assessments by clicking on the notification in your notification feed or the assessment in your to do list.
On your assessments page, there is a:
Classes Dropdown and Search Bar
By default, all of the assessments that have been assigned in all classes will show for you. You can search for a specific title or filter to just one class.
If you are trying to find an assessment that was assigned in a specific class, you can choose that class from the dropdown menu.
If you are trying to find an assessment based on the name of the assessment, you can use the search bar to type the name.
Title
The title of each assessment is listed in the first column.
➡️ Why is the title bold?
This means you have not started this assessment yet. You'll also notice the status says New! for any assessments you haven't started.
➡️ Why is the title in light gray?
This means the assessment isn't open yet. That means that your teacher has a set window of time when you'll be able to work on the assessment. If you hover over the assessment, it will tell you when it will be available.
Type
The assessment type is chosen by your teacher.
This is the type of assessment. It could be a test, assignment, homework, journal, lab, observation, paper, presentation, project, quiz, test, or worksheet.
Due Date
Teachers can set a due date for any of the assessments they assign to their classes.
This is the day and time the assessment is due.
If you see a - , that means there is no due date.
If you do not submit the assessment by the due date, it will automatically be marked as missing.
If you submit the assessment after the due date, it will automatically be marked as late.
Points
If your assessment is being graded with points, then you will see the total points you could potentially earn on this assessment. This is how many points the assessment is worth.
If the assessment has been graded, you will be able to see how many points you earned.
If this space is blank, the assessment didn't have any points on it. That means your teacher is grading that assessment based on standards instead of points.
Status
This status column will show you the actions you have taken or the actions the teacher has taken since you were assigned the assessment. We'll explain more below.
There are 4 statuses:
 You have not opened the assessment yet. |  You have opened the assessment but have not submitted it yet. |  You have submitted the assessment, but the teacher has not graded it yet. |  The assessment has been graded. |
You may also see one of these next to a status:
These statuses mean that your assessment has been marked missing or late. Remember, assessments that haven't been submitted by the due date will automatically be marked missing.
