Observed in Person Assignment - Marking it Complete
Hi,
I have been trying to find the answer, but I haven't had much luck. It seems like everything I find partially answers my question or only discusses how to set up in-person/on-paper submissions.
When using an observed in-person/on-paper submission, can you "override" any of the selected "Marked as Complete" options when you are in the assignments tab? I found a post saying that you (an instructor) can mark an assignment as complete or incomplete when "Manually by Learners" is selected, but it doesn't mention the other 2 options. It also doesn't say if it "overrides" the student marking the assignment as complete or if it is in addition to them marking it as complete.
I really don't want to use the "Manually by Learners" or "Automatically on Due Date." "Automatically on Evaluation" is a more suitable option, but I really don't want to have to provide feedback or a score. It is literally a completion item. When the student completes their assignment, or whatever they are supposed to do, I want to mark it as complete. Can I "override" the "Automatically on Evaluation" by manually marking that item as complete or incomplete?
Thank you!
Also, here is the link to the post I am referencing.

Hello @Lia.H.3992, thanks for your question!
I think you could do this using the Automatically on Evaluation option by leaving the Grade out of setting, within the Edit Assignment area, to Ungraded:
Once you begin to start marking learners as complete by going to View Submissions, you can use the checkbox next to a learners name and then select the Mark as Complete button along the top:
This learner will then be set as complete, and no further action would be required on your part, including the addition of a grade value or comments.
From the learners point of view, they will simply see the Assignment set as complete:
Hope that this will work for your use-case. If you have any questions please let us know!

Hello, @Stephen.R.50!
Thank you so much for your response! I don't have access/don't know how to set up demo students, and I don't have any students enrolled in the course yet to see how everything works once it's live.

Hi @Lia.H.3992,
You are very welcome! It also makes it trickier without a demo student while using a complete on evaluation setup, since you aren't able to run through the preview process and 'grade yourself' to see how everything looks, like you would with a regular Assignment setup.
If we can help further please let us know!
