Manage assignment activities in Schoolwork
Use the assignment details view to help you understand how students are doing in your class and discover trends related to performance, frequency, time, and progress. The information in the assignment details view can help you determine if students are progressing at the same rate as the rest of your class, or if they might be moving ahead or falling behind. You can use the information to help you determine the best course of action for your students, whether it be continuing on their current path, allowing them to try an activity again, or giving them a little extra time after you lock an assignment.
