Explanation for ASSIGNMENT DROPPED • Assignments (2024)

Monday, Feb 27, 2012

On Zangle, the grade system, it says ASSIGNMENT DROPPED. This is a good thing. It means a student's work is in but not yet graded. It does not mean an assignment is missing; just the opposite.

THe Dropped designation will go away once the grade is entered, in a few weeks. Hope this helps.
