Collapsed Course View

   All courses are listed alphabetically by name in the first column.

   

2. 7. Enrollment

7. 12. Score to Date

   This score calculates in a penalty for overdue assignments.

   The first column is assignment type. There are 4 basic assignment types: Lesson (indicated by a white L on a light blue field), Project (indicated by a white P on a light green field), Quiz (indicated by a white Q on an orange field), and Test (indicated by a white T on a red field).
   
   Alternate Tests and Quizzes will be indicated by adding an A before the T or Q.

   Some courses will also include unit References or additional resources, and those will be indicated by a white R on a black field. However, not all courses include those.

   

4. 27. Title

   This column lists each assignment title

   This column shows the status of each assignment, whether it is Skipped, Assigned, Not Started, Completed or Graded.
