6. On the Student work page, you see the status of student's work:
   • Assigned – Work that students have to hand in, including missing or unsubmitted work
   • Handed in – Work that students have handed in
   • Marked – Marked work that you’ve returned
   • Returned – Unmarked (non-marked) work that you've returned
7. To view a student’s submission, tap their name and then any files that they attached.

3. Optional: Education Plus and Teaching Learning editions have the option for expanded marking scales. You can align Classroom marking to your school's system whether:
   • Alphabetical, for example letter marks (A to F) or proficiency (unsatisfactory to excellent)
   • Numeric, for example, 4-point scales
   • Custom marking scales, for example, emojis

   Marking scales features work with:

   • Average mark calculation
   • Rubrics
   • SIS integration
   • Analytics
   • Practice sets and forms auto-marking 
   • You can enter a mark either for the number of points or, if you have marking scales set up, based on the levels on the marking scale. For example, if you have letter marks set up in your class and you assign a 10-point assignment, under 'Mark' you can:
     • Enter '8'
     • Enter 'Good'
     • Select 'Good 8/10' from the drop-down menu
   • You and your co-teachers can find all marks in both points value and the level it corresponds to.
   • A student can find both the points value and the level it corresponds to if a mark is returned.
   • You can only set up marking scales through a computer.
