Track missing assignments for a term

During a grading term, you can track how many assignments your students missed or did not submit.

The Missing column shows the total number of assignments for which you entered your special code(s) for missing assignments.

To track missing assignments using the Missing column on the Scores page:

1. On the Tools tab, Special Codes side-tab, create one or more special codes that you can enter for assignments students do not turn in. Be sure to select the Report as missing checkbox. You can also determine if entering that code affects student averages.
2. In your user preferences, select the Show missing column checkbox. If you want Aspen to include assignments that were due before today that you do not enter scores for in the missing total, select the Count empty as missing checkbox.
3. On the Scores page, enter the special codes you created to use for missing assignments. Each time you enter that code(s) for an assignment, Aspen calculates the total number for that grading term in the Missing column.

Note: The Missing column and its values appear only on your Scores page; students, parents, and office staff cannot see these values. They are for your information only.
