How to View Assignment Reports (Admin) 

Penda Science provides administrators with powerful, real-time data to monitor student performance and mastery across multiple classes or schools. Use the Assignment Report to identify learning gaps and track the effectiveness of science instruction.

---

The Assignments Report key data points includes:

• Mastery Levels (Color-Coded): Green (80%+), Yellow (60-79%), Red (<59%): Allows for "at-a-glance" identification of students who are struggling or excelling. 

• Average Score per Class: Helps gauge if the entire class found a concept difficult, indicating a need for a whole-group review.

• Attempt-by-Attempt Data: Shows how many times a student tried an activity, helping to distinguish between a student who guessed and one who persisted.

• AI Feedback (Written Responses): Provides immediate insights into student reasoning without manual grading for every entry. 

• Completion Time Stamps: Useful for verifying if students are working during designated hours or if they are rushing through activities too quickly.

• View Answers (Screen-by-Screen): Pinpoints the exact "point of failure" or misconception for a student during individual conferences. 

Step 1: Access Assignments You Assigned

1. From the left navigation bar, under Assignments, click Assignments.
   Tip: Scroll through the list or use the search bar to find an assignment by name.  You can also view assignments by date range and sort by due or past due.
