WDM Teachers: How to fill-in all assignments as “Turned-in”

For WDM Teachers…

Question:  Is there a way to automatically mark all assignments as “turned-in”?   When I collect a bunch of assignments, it would be easier to mark them all as turned-in, and then go back to unmark just the few that are missing.  Is there a way to do this?

Answer:  Yes…  it is NOT available within the gradebook, but can be done using the Assignments section.

Here are the steps.

1. Go to Assignments.
2. In the assignment list, click on the assignment link that you want to score. 
3. At the top, click on the Save and Score link at the top.  This will bring up a window asking which section you want to score.  You can only do one class at a time. 
4. It should then look like the screen shot below.   Click on the T and then FILL ALL to fill all students with “turned-in”, and the go back and uncheck those that did not turn in the assignment. 

WDM Teachers: How to find Campus Messenger Records

For WDM Teachers…..

Q: Is there a way to find previously sent Campus Messenger notices? For example, I’d like to verify if a certain student/parent was sent a failing grade notification.

Answer: Yes. First, keep in the mind that failing grades notifications must be manually triggered by the classroom teacher. However, if you have sent out notifications, then yes, Campus does record your most recent notifications.

1) Open MESSENGER > SENT MESSAGES

2) Select the needed notification message/date and then select PRINT SENT MESSAGE REPORT, this will pull up a complete report of notification including a copy of the message and which email addresses the message was sent to.

Question: When I open the report, it shows an email address and the term “SENT”, does this mean the message was received by the person or that it was just sent only?  
Answer:  It means a message was sent to the given email address, Campus is unable to confirm if the message was received as this might be influenced by spam filtering on the other end.
