Assignments hand-in no work or blank work
Teachers are assigning work for students to complete. But students are handing in assignments with no work or blank work.
Can the Hand-In button be disabled if students have not uploaded anything or added to the resources they have been provided.
Part of schools working remotely is trying to keep a track of which students are not completing work. Then calling parents to discuss this. Making it so that students can hand in an assignment without having done anything makes checking very difficult.

My school uses both Google Classroom and Teams. The biggest complaint I hear of both is that kids "Turn In" work without completing it. But if a student has not uploaded or opened the assignment the Turn In button should be disabled.

By default, the turn-in button must be disabled if no file is attached.

I agree with most of the comments below:
- if not work attached, turn-in button must be disabled.
- teachers must be able to undo the turn-in (e.g. if work is not up to standard or wrong file attached)
- if no work has been turned in, the assignment MUST appear as incomplete to the student and in the grade book.Additionally, when work is graded, it should be listed in a separate section in the Assignments tab as "Requires review". Only after the student has looked at the grade/comments should the assignment be moved into the completed section.

We must be able to reverse a student's handed in status if they haven't actually handed anything in. The lack of this feature is causing problems - teachers creating double entries and extra work chasing students - students have convenient "I can't see the assignment anymore" excuses and forget it still needs to be done - parents are in the dark when one of the most promising features is that parents should be better informed.

We have found issues with kids completing work (staff have seen the work completed in a hub) but when the staff member checks the assignment 'turned in' it is blank. Any ideas what the issue is here?

Some pupils handing in an assignment without attaching work. If you look at the grades tab it shows that they have completed the work even though they have not. As above, could it be possible to disengage the hand in button if work is not attached?

Assignments disappear from a students list if they return anything even if it is empty. I am working in a hub currently working with the Key Worker children. I find it impossible to see what work they have handed in. It would be good if this doesn't happen, Could a simple a flag system (red/yellow/green), or thumbs up/down that is linked to every assignment. Students/parents would then see that and know if there is an issue they need to attend to.I would also then be able to tell if they have actually turned in work.

It would be great if there was a way to 'unhand in' the work to pupils. This would allow us to see who has done what by looking at the class as a whole.

I agree with what people have said so far that there needs to be a clear (blank/missing/rejected) assignment button that teachers could click and give their feedback to the student.
If it is blank, then the assignment shouldn't go only to the activity feed for the student. It should go straight back to their assignments tab as an unfinished assignment (which means they see it clearly and parents get their notification). The turn in button is then disabled so that they can't try to turn it in again without making changes. Once they make changes, then the turn in is active and they can turn it in. -

Hello, Please add a feature that prevents students from being able to turning blank assignments. Students should not be able to click on an an assignment and then simply click the Turn-in button when they have not even completed the assignment. I asked that you include a warning message that reads: " As you sure you what to turn-in this blank assignment. Or better yet, a warning message that tells them that they must first complete the assignment before it can be turned in.
It is very time consuming to open assignments that have been turned in blank. Please help teachers with this concern. -

Students sometimes turn in nothing on purpose. If the teacher notices, they argue it was a mistake.

Student turn in work without uploading work which makes it difficult during the analysing process

I have had students contacting me unsure of whether their work is properly attached or not, and others who have accidentally clicked 'submit' when reading the work so assumed when they go back to look that they have done it, so apart from saving me a lot of time this would be helpful for students as well.

As previously said an option to prevent hand in with out attaching work, if work is required. Or to be able to filter for this in Insights.

A few savvy kids have figured out that they get rid of the pesky "late work" notifications if they hit "turn in" on an assignment, even if they haven't done the work. This removes the assignment from their parent's radar, and their own as well.
Right now I just return their blank assignment with a note to finish and resubmit, but it would be great to have a "requires revision" or "mark as missing/late" option, so that the assignment will still show up in their assignments tab.

It is very difficult to back track and take care of students who think they turned something in. We need to be accurate and this detail will help immensely

Agree or a reject button as other have suggested.

An option to send back as incomplete would be perfect, if it could reappear in the unmarked section that would make record keeping much easier.
