What’s changing?
Following the expansion of grading systems in Google Classroom, Google are now adding an additional feature that gives teachers even more flexibility when it comes to grading for assignments and classwork.
Starting today, teachers can mark an assignment for a particular student as “Excused” instead of giving it a 0-100 score.
This will exclude that particular assignment from the student’s overall grade. We hope this requested feature addresses various class scenarios, such as wanting to drop a student’s lowest assignment, excusing an assignment when a student is absent, or any other circumstance in which an assignment should not be included in a student’s grade.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on December 12, 2023
