[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would this happen at your school? My kid was given 50% on an assignment that was completed and submitted on time. But the kid forgot to set the edit function to "share" so the teacher could comment on it. The teacher could see it was submitted. When informed about it, the kid changed it so it could be graded and commented on. Would this get a 50% at your kid's school? Or a 10% off for being late? Or no penalty at all?[/quote]

10% off if fixed by the deadline.
50% if fixed after the deadline.

This is an old trick that students use. they can continue to edit their work and the teacher would not be able to see that it had been altered between the due date and when it was properly shared. If the fix hasn’t been made by the deadline, sometimes I will have the student show me their doc’s history. It’s never a surprise that what was submitted but not visible was actually incomplete. When it is finally properly shared with me, it has been heavily edited. I make them revert the file to the date submitted and I grade that. [/quote]
