On Aug. 21, the Automatic Zero for Missing Submissions setting was enabled. The feature allows faculty to enable it within your course. This feature automatically assigns a zero to students who have not submitted their work for a particular assignment by the designated deadline.
How does it work?
- Setting the deadline: Instructors can specify each assignment's due date and time.
- Automatic grading: Once the deadline passes, Brightspace will automatically review the submission status of all students.
- Assigning zeros: Students who have not submitted their assignments by the deadline will be automatically assigned a zero for that particular task.
Benefits of Automatic Zero
- Efficiency: It saves instructors time by automating the grading process for missing assignments.
- Fairness: It ensures that all students are treated equally and held accountable for meeting deadlines.
- Late submissions: Faculty can easily override the automatic zero grade.
- Organization: It helps maintain a clear and organized grading system.
If you have any questions, please contact the Campus Technology Services (CTS) Help Desk.
