I notice that the average and minimum score for an assignment can be heavily skewed if one or a few students are marked "missing" (and therefore receive a score of 0). I would like to be able to see the statistics of the assignment counting only those who actually turned it in.
Hi Mr. Griest,
Thank you for your feedback on View Statistics in the gradebook.
In this case, you may want to consider using the Excused or Incomplete exception instead of Missing. This way, the student is not penalized with a zero score and it is not included in the average and minimum score statistics. You can find out more about exceptions here: How do I use exceptions in the gradebook?
I hope this helps!

Hello Ms. de Lacy,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I do like the Excused/Incomplete flags and use them regularly, but in certain cases I would still prefer to use the Missing flag because either the assignment was actually never submitted or to get a student's attention that they need to submit it as soon as possible. My hope would be to be able to continue using the Missing flag (or just enter zeros) and still be able to see filtered results of only non-zero scores.
Thanks again for your help!
