When granting manual extensions to students, instructors can choose an extended due date directly using a date picker interface, rather than entering extension hours and minutes. This makes it easier to:
Set specific deadlines for individual students or groups
Visualize the extended due date in context
Avoid calculation errors when determining extension length
To grant an extension:
Navigate to the assignment’s “Due Date Exceptions” section
Select the student or group
Use the date picker to choose the extended due date
Save the extension
The system will automatically calculate the extension duration based on the original due date.
Instructors can configure a maximum score cap for assignments. This feature allows you to:
Set a maximum possible score for an assignment
Prevent extra credit from exceeding a specified limit
Ensure consistent grading across all submissions
Score capping is configured in the assignment settings and applies automatically when calculating final grades. When a student’s total score (autograder + handgrading) exceeds the cap, their final score will be limited to the maximum value.
When exporting grades or other assignment data, the export buttons now display loading states to provide feedback during the export process. This helps you understand that the system is processing your request, especially for large datasets.
