Description
Enabling the Assign automatic zeros for past due work setting after the due dates of an existing peer assignment have passed will cause the Gradebook activity count to display incorrectly. When the instructor enables this setting and selects Assign zeros, students may see a count next to the Gradebook tab indicating that grading activities require attention. After a student opens the peer assignment, the indicator next to the assignment may disappear, but the count in the course navigation bar decreases only partially and does not clear completely.
