Occasionally you may need to ask Myplace to recalculate the Late Penalty that is being applied to a submission. This article shows you how to do this.
Typically you may want to recalculate the penalties if you have made changes to any of the activities due dates, or granted an extension to a student that was not in response to a student extension request.
Instructions
1. Go into the Assignment Grading table
Go into an Assignment activity
Click on the View All Submissions button.
2. Identify the submissions to recalculate
At the left had side of each submission is a tick box, check the box next to all of the submissions that you wish to recalculate.
You can use the Late Submission columns and the Final Grade (if blind marking has been released) to determine what penalty has currently been calculated.
There are 2 Late Submissions columns on this table. The first displays the currently incurred penalty, the second displays the applied penalty.
You can click on the magnifying glass icon to see a breakdown of the penalty.
CLick on the Back button to return.
