Sorting Assignments by Graded and Ungraded
While there is no direct option to sort assignments specifically by graded or ungraded status, you can use the following methods to organize and identify assignments:
Sort by Date: Arrange assessments from newest to oldest to help organize your workflow.
Visual Indicators: Use the circles within the Gradebook table to quickly identify which assessments or questions are graded or ungraded.
Column Sorting: Click on the three dots in the column header and select 'low to high' sorting. This will display ungraded questions at the top for that specific assessment.
Use the search bar to filter by student or assessment names.
Troubleshooting: Disabled or Faded Grade Button
If the Grade button appears disabled or faded, it is likely due to the following reason:
The Grade button becomes active only after at least one student has submitted the assignment. If no submissions have been received for the assignment or class, the button will remain unclickable. Once a submission is made, the button will be enabled, allowing you to begin grading.
