Completion! Use Test Availability
Exceptions for make-ups and accommodations
Auto-Submit is ok – forces the student to stop when timer ends
Decide on options for how and whether students can receive feedback

Alternately, in the Full Grade Center, ungraded work submitted will have a “!” icon

grades at a glance – works like a spreadsheet
You can create columns for various purposes, including calculated columns
Use the Manage button to change column organization
Use the “arrow-menus” to change settings, view and edit grades
