Manage assignment activities in Schoolwork
Use the assignment details view to help you understand how students are doing in your class and discover trends related to performance, frequency, time, and progress. The information in the assignment details view can help you determine if students are progressing at the same rate as the rest of your class, or if they might be moving ahead or falling behind. You can use the information to help you determine the best course of action for your students, whether it be continuing on their current path, allowing them to try an activity again, or giving them a little extra time after you lock an assignment.

, tap a class in the sidebar, then tap the name of the student whose data you want to view.
Use the information in the student’s insight cards to help you determine if a student is progressing at the same rate as the rest of your class, or if they might need extra challenges or attention.
For example, you can see how a student’s scores compare to the class average, where a student spends most of their time, and how frequently a student is using an app, then use the information to determine the best course of action to help the student.
