When items and assignments are considered complete
Updated 29 Aug 2024
The following completion definitions apply to Mastering standard assignments and items.
for each part of the item (Part A, Part B, and so on), the student has either submitted the correct answer, used all attempts, or requested the answer. Students can receive partial credit for items that aren't complete, but if an item is incomplete, a student can't open another item that has a Require Previous constraint dependent on the incomplete item.
all parts of all regular-credit items are complete, as described above. 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 don't need to be completed unless the assignment contains only practice items. Some activities are prevented unless an assignment is complete:
- Rework an assignment for practice
- Test out of an Adaptive Follow-Up assignment, even if the test-out score is achieved
- Start an Adaptive Follow-Up assignment immediately (must wait for the Parent assignment deadline)
the student has completed all subsets of items they receive from each pool as well as any unpooled assignment items. The assignment can contain all extra-credit or all practice items. More on assignments with pooled items
the conditions described above are met, or when time runs out. More about timed assignments
You can check class progress on assignment items from the assignment's Overview page (for all students, but not including Adaptive Follow-Up assignments) or the Scores page (all scores for an individual student, including Adaptive Follow-Up assignments).
In students' view, completed assignments are shown with one of the following: Completed, a check mark, or the number of items completed (like 8 of 8 complete).
