For Mastering items and assignments that include Mastering items:
- An item is complete if, for each part of the item (Part A, Part B, and so on), the student has either submitted the correct answer, used all attempts, requested the answer, or given up.
- An assignment (including an Adaptive Follow-Up assignment) is complete if all parts of all regular-credit items are complete. Extra-credit items do not need to be completed for the assignment to be considered complete, unless the assignment contains no regular-credit items. Practice items do not need to be completed unless the assignment contains only practice items.
- A pooled assignment is considered complete when the student has completed the subset of items that the student was given from the pool, even if the assignment contains all extra-credit or all practice items. If you make a change to the pooled assignment, the assignment may be no longer complete, and you should let students know to check the assignment again.
- A timed assignment is complete when the conditions described above are met, or when time runs out.
You can check students' progress on a Mastering assignment in the Summary View (for all students, but not including Adaptive Follow-Up assignments) or the Scores page (for an individual student, including Adaptive Follow-Up assignments).
On a student's Course Home calendar and Assignments page, a 
check mark next to a Mastering assignment title indicates that the assignment is complete.
