Question

How do I delete a student's attempt for an assignment?

Solution

You can quickly get to the gradebook for any course by locating that course on your My Courses dashboard and opening the Gradebook page.

You can access your Vantage gradebook from the course tile on your My Courses dashboard.

If you are already in another area of your Vantage course, you can easily get to the Gradebook from the top navigation menu.

If you are in another tab of your course, you can use the top navigation menu to access the Gradebook tab.

You can click on a student's name in the gradebook to view details of their progress on their Assignment Overview page. At the top of the page, you can see a snapshot of the number of assignments the student has completed with a breakdown of those assignments by type.

This image shows an Assignment Overview page after clicking a student's name in the gradebook. Basic course details are displayed at the top left. The top middle and right side of the page display graphs that track the student's progress through the assignments in the course.

More specific details and actions for grade management are available on the bottom of the page. You will see all submitted attempts for any assignment the student has completed. Each assignment will show the current grade based on your course settings. Each attempt shows the points received and the percentage as well as the start and end dates for that attempt. Any completion date that is after the due date appears in red.

At the bottom of the Assignment Overview page, each assignment attempt a student has made is listed. Details include the number of attempts and the scores for each attempt, what is recorded in the gradebook for the assignment (a grade or complete), and the starting and ending time stamps for each attempt.

It may be necessary to delete a student's attempt on an assignment. Locate the assignment and the attempt you want to remove and click Delete. A pop-up window will warn you that once the attempt is deleted, there is no way to recover the data. You can click Cancel to exit out or Delete to proceed.

When you click "Delete" to remove a student's assignment attempt, a pop-up message appears asking you to confirm that you want to delete it. Click "Delete" in the pop-up to continue and remove the attempt. Click "Cancel" to exit without deleting the attempt.
