I don't get how this is supposed to work.
We're a school using the assignment module to remind students of homework.
We don't use the online submission or grading part, but it is handy that if a teacher
sets a homework assignment, that the children see the 'assignment pending' message
on the 'course overview' when they login.
However, these messages do not disappear when the date expires!
So the students eventually get this message on ALL their courses ALL of the time.
If they click on a course in the overview list, ALL the previous assignments are listed.
Is this intended behaviour? I don't see how it could be helpful in any situation when you
get a 'pending' message for assignments which have already been done?
Does the teacher really have to manually hide or delete the assignment to make it the
pending message disappear from the course overview list?
Thanks for any clarification.
