Q: Viewing assignment grade

Students should receive notifications when grades are posted. For historical data, have the student navigate to the assignment and examine the assignment discussion that he or she used to turn in homework; the grade will be listed there. (Even if no homework was turned in electronically, the grade is still posted there.)

If you have ideas for a better approach, I encourage you to tell Apple about them:
