How do I view assignment submissions in the Teacher app on my Android device?
When you open a course, you can see the list of assignments in your course. For each assignment, you can view the status and whether or not submissions need grading. You can also view each student's submission, comments, and files.
This lesson shows how to view assignments from the Assignments page. However, submissions can also be viewed in the page for their respective assignment type.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
Note: If the assignment you are accessing displays differently, Assignment Enhancements may be enabled in your course. Currently, Assignment Enhancements is only partially supported by the app.

Unless a specific filter was already selected from the assignment page, the Submissions page defaults to the All Submissions page. You can view all students assigned to the assignment and his or her submission status.
Filter Submissions
To apply additional filters, tap the Filter icon [1]. Then select if you want to filter by submission status [2] or filter by section [3].
When filtering by submission status, you can filter by all submissions, late submissions, students who have not submitted, submissions that have not been graded, submissions with a score less than a specific value, and submissions with a score greater than a specific value.
