Auto-Zeroed assignments are being marked complete even with that option unchecked

In my course settings > Advanced Options I set a check for "automatically assign zero scores to past-due activities" and then unchecked the "mark auto-zeroed activities as complete. However it is still marking all my assignments as complete and I have to manually go in and allow a retry. What am I missing?

Check the settings for your individual assignments. Do you maybe have them set to be complete when student receives any score?

It was set to student submits. So it needs to be changed to receives a passing score?

Is there a way to change that for all activities at once?

I believe the setting automatically assign zero scores to past-due activities submits a zero for the student score. If so, that would count as a student submission. Changing the setting to receives a passing score should fix it. (Hopefully, someone from Agilix will correct me if this is incorrect.) Be aware, that the assignment won't drop from a student's to-do list until it is complete. If you don't want to allow additional attempts, their to-do list can grow pretty long. 

For what it's worth I allow unlimited attempts at assignments. I use the setting receives a passing score and also set the passing score to 70%. That way it won't drop off of their to-do list until they earn at least a 70.

That's exactly what I was looking for! It drove me crazy that it would get marked complete and come off the to-do list when I put in 0's.

 

Do you have to do it for each individual assignment or can you do it en mass?

Unfortunately, you can't change those settings with the bulk editor. You'll have to change individual assignments.

I just found it!

If you have admin rights you can in the "Power Tools"

I'm glad you were able to make the global edit. :)

I don't have admin rights in my role, so I don't know what's possible there.

I am glad you were able to find a solution for bulk editing. I do want to note that Power Tools is a custom tool designed by a customer's organization and may not be available to some customers.
