Gradekeeper temporary shortage8/8/2023 I just did new testing and did not run into the same issues. Would you be willing to send me the link to your testing course by private The testing I had done before was in our beta instance. We've attempted to recreate some of the issues you reported, but have been unsuccessful so want to see your specific setup to see the due dates, statuses and how they were applied, etc. Given the outcome of your testing, we would like to do some additional digging into your specific course to ensure that there is not a problem with the way the feature is working. We've included the option to only apply the score in bulk to "past due" assignments because we recognize there are times in which an instructor may not wish to include a due date for assignments, thus not wanting to apply a score until the time is right. There are many times during a course when the instructor may want to take bulk action to score all ungraded assignments, whether submitted or not and regardless of the status set automatically or manually. This is very common vocabulary for educators and learners to use when speaking about assignments that are past the due date. This feature does not depend on assignment statuses, which is why we specifically call out "past due" and not one or more of our current assignment statuses available. It seems there might be some confusion around how this feature works and what you might have expected. I think it would be even more confusing for general faculty and will thus be recommending that we do not enable this feature until its functionality is thanks for adding your comment/experience to this thread. I, an instructional designer and technical writer, think it is unclear how this feature is supposed to be applied. The assignment that was submitted and marked "late" and the unsubmitted assignment marked "missing" were not given the 60% grade. The outcome of applying 60% score to "past due" "artifacts" is that both an unsubmitted assignment and a submitted assignment that were not yet "late" or "missing" and an unsubmitted assignment that was marked "late" were all given the 60% grade. "Late", "Missing", and "Unsubmitted" are all statuses that make sense. I think this "past due" is where there is an issue, as it is a term that doesn't exist in Canvas' current lexicon. I set it to grade 60% on ungraded artifacts that were "past due". I tested with various submission statuses. I think this tool could be useful for bulk application of grades, but have found issues in testing.
