Viewing Statistics

A home task is assigned to all Students who participate in the course. The HomeWork section gives the Teacher of the course a possibility to view the statistics of tasks performing. The Teacher can see whether tasks have been completed by Students or not, and the date of their completion.

To view the homework statistics, click the title of the corresponding task in the HomeWork section. As a result, the information page for the task will be displayed:

The statistics for a task represents a list of Students taking part in the course. Next to every Student stands a group to which they belong, and the state of the task:

  • As soon as a Student has confirmed that they have completed a task, the Completed (publish) icon is displayed next to their name.
  • If the task has not been completed, it will be marked by the Incomplete (unpublish) icon.

The Teacher of the course themselves can mark the task as completed/incomplete by clicking the icon next to the corresponding user.

The Teacher of the course can also send an e-mail to any Student by clicking its name on the HomeWork statistics page.

Tip: To provide better viewing representation, you can sort out the list of courses using the filter at the top of the page:
  • By task readiness: All, Incomplete, Completed;
  • By group of users;
  • By users.
