Appendix A: Score Flags

The following table describes the effect of marking a flag for an assignment:

Abbreviation

Description

Additional Logic

T

Turned In

If you mark an assignment as Turned In and then as Missing, the Turned In flag is removed. Assignments which are enabled for Submission through Campus Student are closed for submission when the Turned In flag is marked.


Assignments are flagged as Turned In when a student submits work through Campus Student. To allow students to resubmit an assignment, remove the Turned In flag.

M

Missing

The logic of the Missing flag is dependent on whether a Missing Assignment Percentage is entered by your district.

If the district has not set a calculation, the Missing flag is an indicator only; flagged assignments CAN be scored.

If the district has set the flag to auto-calculate and entered a Missing Assignment Percentage, flagged assignments calculate as the entered percentage of Total Points for assignments scored using Points or Marks. Hover over the score field to see the calculated score. In this instance, a score cannot be entered if the Missing flag is selected. Score are not auto-calculated for assignments scored using Rubrics.

If you mark an assignment as Missing and then as Turned In, the Missing flag is removed. If the missing flag is set to auto-calculate, when calculating a Proficiency Estimate via Mode of a limited number of assignments, if any of those assignments are marked as Missing, the Proficiency Estimate will not calculate.

How do I know what my district has set?

Can you enter a score for a missing assignment? If so, no calculation has been set.

If you cannot enter a score, hover over the score field to see the calculated score. For example, if a district has set the missing flag as 25%, a 20 point assignment calculates as 5 points.

L

Late

N/A

I

Incomplete

When calculating a Proficiency Estimate via Mode of 3 or Mode of 5, if any of the 3 or 5 scores are marked as Incomplete, the Proficiency Estimate will not calculate.

Ch

Cheated

Score appears stricken-through. Scores with the cheated flag automatically calculate as zero.

When calculating a Proficiency Estimate via Mode of 3 or Mode of 5, if any of the 3 or 5 scores are marked as Cheated, the Proficiency Estimate will not calculate.

X

Exempt

Score appears stricken-through. The grid of scores flagged as Exempt appear in grey. Exempted assignments do not display in student and parent views.

When calculating a Proficiency Estimate via Mode of 3 or Mode of 5, if any of the 3 or 5 scores are marked as Exempt, the Proficiency Estimate will not calculate.

Dr

Dropped

Dropped scores are not included in In Progress grade calculations.

The Drop Lowest Score option can be set for categories to automatically mark the lowest score in the category as dropped.

--A small gray square displays in the bottom left corner of the score grid if the student was not rostered into the section on the due date of the assignment.

Typing the flag Abbreviation into the score grid sets that flag, unless the abbreviation is a valid Assignment Mark or Rubric score. If you clear the abbreviation and move to a different cell, a message appears asking if you want to clear any flags on the score. However, replacing the abbreviation with a score does not remove the flag.
