Returned assignments should show up as "Graded" or as "Needs Revised."

When I return an assignment to a student for any reason, it just says "Returned." There should be an easy way for the student to see if the assignment has been "Graded" or if it "Needs Revised" so that the student knows there is more they need to do.

    This is exactly my problem too. If I don't return the work, the child is not prompted to look at it at all. A lot of wasted time could be eliminated by adding ' Return for Revision' as an aternative to ' Return completed'

    This would be a huge improvement to my use of Teams. As discussed below, so many students submit incomplete work which needs to be returned for improvements. When I do this it still shows as returned, so I have to manually work through each assigment student by student to work out who falls under which category and which student may have updated their work for further review. A workflow cycle which enabled you to push it back to the assigned status (where no work has been completed) or improvement status (where it could be reviewed and updated by the student) would help hugely.

    Children are often turning in blank assignments, and trying to keep track of who has ACTUALLY completed an assignment and which assignments are marked as 'completed' because I have sent them back asking for them to complete their work. Work that needs to be completed needs to be put back into the children's 'Assigned' section or else they'll miss it.

    The school I'm at has children as young as 7 using Teams for their home learning - it really needs to be as clear as possible to children when they need to go back and complete an assignment.

    Students are frequently turning in blank or incomplete assignments so that it appears to their parents (in the weekly summary email or if they look at the student's assignment list directly) that the assignment has been completed/handed in. We urgently need a way to return incomplete work to the student such that it is moved back into their 'assigned'/to do list and shows up as incomplete (to the student and also parents looking at the summary email).

    I second that,, many of my students loose track of late assignments as it was moved to (completed) after I return them to fix their work!

    Or could be marked "Incomplete" and have a new section for that.

  • J. Palmer commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please. And it's also very important that what Linda Koyen mentions also happens: assignments marked as "needs revision" need to move back up into the student's "assigned" section, otherwise they won't see it. Even if there's a notification, if it doesn't show up in students' active assignments section, they won't notice.

    I like the idea of "Needs Revised" or the grade showing at the end of the assignment bar in the studetns' "Completed" list.
    I would prefer that the Needs Revised can be moved back into the students' Assigned section, rather than staying in the "Completed" section.

    Yes, please! Take advise from teachers who are using this and make it educator friendly.

  • Sarina Wijnen commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes please! Plus the student should get a notification that draws their attention to it.
    And could you please and an option to add a document as a teacher?Because I don't grade in Class Notebook (we've had issues with regular assignments so we won't risk losing tests) and now I use a Word Document. I'd like to download it AND upload it back to the assignment. Just 'feedback' isn't enough.

  • Melissa Gallegos commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes!!!! That would be so helpful. And then the two drop downs of “assignments” and “completed” need to include another tab that says “I didn’t really do the work but I hit turn in so my parents think I did the work”.
