Displaying a Text Grade to Students

How are institutions highlighting assignments for students?

Is There a Way to Tie Quiz Access to In-Person Attendance?
I'm wondering if anyone has implemented a workflow in Brightspace where attendance in an in-person class determines access to an associated quiz.

Keep percentage grades from rounding up
We don't want to display any decimal points with our percentage grades, but if we don't set it to at least 1 percent it rounds up. Even if I set the managing view to 1 decimal and the student view to 0 decimals, it still rounds up in the students point of view. Is there a way to keep it from rounding up?

View options: display full discussion posts and replies all at once

I know the program assumes that the next assignment could potentially be dropped, but I wish there were a way that students wouldn't see that. I talked to a…
